"Your father left this in my possession before he died."

Indeed why _did_ James do that, anyway?  Seems it would be useful to
have around when you're hiding from the greatest dark wizard in a
century, doesn't it?  Even if Voldy could see through it (which we
don't know he can, do we?), his minions probably couldn't.

But even if James _didn_'t think it would come in handy, why would he
go out of his way to give it to Dumbledore?  Did he think Dumbledore
might need it?

The line on DD's note to Harry brings up an image of James being
ushered into Dumbledore's office, clearing his throat and saying, "If
I don't make it, sir, will you see to it that this gets passed on to
my son?"
"Of course I will.  Off you go, then."
And the brave lad marches off on his hopeless mission.

Then again, maybe it was left in DD's possession a bit closer to the
front...perhaps it might explain how the word got out so quickly as to
what happened at Godric's Hollow.

Just a (probably addled) thought...
