Eddie:
Cute twist, but I'm not persuaded.  We see Dumbledore continuously
from the time he and Harry leave Hogwarts, to the locket-cave, back to
Hogsmeade, back to the tower, to the Avada Kedavra.  Would Aberforth
Dumbledore (the brother) have been able to accomplish all the things
we saw him do?  (Heck, maybe... we don't know much about Aberforth's
powers).
