Two flaws in logic ~

There is a bit of a flaw in assuming that Minerva doesn't have
memories or information that is important.

We just haven't been made privvy to much of what she knows thus
far.

For example:  We know for sure something traumatic happened to her
when the Chamber was opened when Tom was in school.
"Stiff upper lip" McGonagall sniffles (indicating crying/emotional
reaction) when Harry and Ron cover their behinds about being out when
they weren't supposed to be, by saying they are trying to sneak up to
see petrified Hermione.  This is not normal McGonagall behavior, it
indicates something terrible happening to a friend is something that
touches her.  This hints that something happened to her then.


There is also a falacy in the assumption that Dumbledore didn't know
everything she knows.  The two of them have had many years working
together and had to share confidences.  It simply hasn't been germain
to show it all to the readers just yet.
