Julie:
I suspect the next head of Hogwarts will be McGonagall. Who is
also part of the Order. As was the person in one of the portraits now
in the Headmaster's office. (Dumbledore, of course.) Which begs
the question, is this the *only* portrait of Dumbledore in existence?

I can't see any reason why it should be, as many other headmasters
have their portraits elsewhere. So where would Dumbledore's other
portraits be? And how might Dumbledore assist Harry and the Order
by hopping between his portraits?

Lynda:
Let's not forget the chocolate frog cards.  I'm fairly certain that
Dumbledore's picture on those might turn out to be significant.  Or he
wouldn't have made the statement that he would not be upset (whatever the
exact wording was I don't recall) unless his picture was removed from the
cards.

I'm certain that a wizard of Dumbledore's stature has a few more portraits
in key places however.  Important people (and even some not so
important--merely famous) seem to manage to be photographed, painted and
etc. fairly often.
