Goddlefrood:

Along that line indeed. As I said in a later post on this 
subject I do think there may be a corresponding light magic 
for each piece of dark magic. While these boundaries of light 
and dark magic are not yet entiely clear, and may never be :), 
the Horcrux is certainly dark and it would be good to think 
that there were something opposite to it. I there is then there
is no doubt in my mind that DD knew of it.

Of course, your thought may also be correct, perhaps he was able
to transform himself into a variety of animals and creatures,
including, but not necessarily limited to a wasp, a phoemnix and
a lethifold :)

I do often state that of course I could be wrong, I like 
theorising in a speculative way as it gives me pleasure. No 
helpings of humble pie will be ingested should this particular 
ridiculous suggestion as in my initial post be wrong ;)

I also compliment Jen on her thoughts, which were of interest.

Goddlefrood, who clarifies that when he said Dumbledore is the
only wizard of his age he simply meant that he was the only
wizard of "exactly" his age ;), while acknowledging that at
least two wizards we have met are older than he, but both of
whom seem to be in awe of DD's skills :)
