I never even really wondered about why Dumbledore had the IC, because the
text tells us that Harry's father left it in his possession and DD gave it
to Harry at what he considered the proper time. So the question never
occurred to me since I had been given the answer in the text and it worked
out as an operation for the book.  Harry needed a way to get around without
being spotted. Dumbledore gave him the cloak that Harry's father had left in
his care to be given to his son at the proper time. 'Nuff said. Anything
more will be revealed by the author at the proper time.
