Dumbledore's Past?

No: HPFGUIDX 168848

Going a bit off-topic here to recommend an essay proposing that Snape 
and Dumbledore switched bodies before the cave adventure.  I can't 
really add much to what the author of the essay says.  It's here:

I know this theory has been brought up before, but the way the author 
goes through it is quite convincing.  Besides the remarks in the cave 
and Dumbledore's often-uncharacteristic sharpness, the theory explains 
many things: the fact that Dumbledore knew Snape was asleep in his 
office; the intense look between Snape and Dumbledore, and Snape's 
subsequent quick action; the fury of Snape at being called a coward.  
It also has the "mistaken identity" element, as well as a re-use of 
possession of another's body, as Voldemort did on at least one 
occasion, and maybe two if there was more to Quirrell than just 
sitting on the DADA teacher's head.

Anyway, I hope a recommendation without much elaboration is OK.
