Dumbledore has been gradually looking older and more tired in the last
three books.  I suspect he was drinking Elixir of Life with the
Flamels until the Stone was destroyed and began to age when he ran out
of it.

However, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Dumbledore, having
killed Grindelwald, made a horcrux after the Potters died in order to
be able to protect Harry.  Dumbledore says in virtually every book,
that he trusts Severus Snape, but in book one, he tells McG that he
trusts Hagrid "with his life."  Is Hagrid protecting a Dumbledore
horcrux?  Does it have anything to do with the title, "Keeper of the
Keys?"
