Nora:
Maybe Susan is right, and we should focus on the "when DD could make
himself invisible without a cloak" part. It is the first time (at
least to my knowledge or memory) that it is actually stated that DD
could make himself invisible without a cloak. We have guessed,
suspected, etc, but never been positive about this fact. How could it
be so crucial? Perhaps DD have been somewhere, sometime, invisible,
without nobody knowing it?

Lynda:

Given the text in SS in which Dumbledore says that he can make himself
invisible without using a cloak, I've always presumed that he does, in fact,
do exactly that at times.  There is no reason for that to be mentioned
unless it is important to the story.  Now, as for when and why, I have very
few clues, but how about, to check on various people without them knowing
it, to discover clues to various mysteries and puzzles and to keep an eye on
rambuctious students at a school of which he is the headmaster?
