Everything that humankind discovers or tries to figure out leaves nothing for the IMAGINATION because there are FACTS to prove you right or wrong. But the afterlife makes you wonder: what next?

Rat Tonic Bottler Posts: 1,100 Joined: 5:49pm July 5, 2005 Location: Melbourne, Australia	QUOTE(bibs the S.P.E.W supporter @ Jul 6 2007, 06:40 AM) [snapback]1291975[/snapback] 4. dumbledore told harry, "i hav watched you more closely than you could imagine." Dumbledore (or anyone) watching Harry after he joins the wizarding world by means of the chocolate frog cards is fine, but where would Harry find the cards when he was at the Dursley's? After he joined Hogwart's, yes - but he wouldn't have access to them before he turned eleven. I would have thought the "I have watched you more closely than you could imagine" refered to Mrs. Figg. Otherwise, I agree that dumbledore probably uses the chocolate frog cards to check on his pupils, etc. -------------------- I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter!

I'm even reluctant to believe the "Dumbledore was following Harry around while invisible" theories. Both of them seem too literal, especially for mysterious and inventive JKR. -------------------- "Oh shut up, Weatherby," said Fred.

I suppose it's a possibility but IMO not a very likely one. -------------------- 'I am not worried, Harry,' said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. 'I am with you.

Professional Diagon Alley Window Shopper Posts: 73 Joined: 9:15pm June 19, 2007	I think that is a brillant idea. I never thought of that. He could walk through them as a potrait as ron says in PS/SS on the train(i think) So he could acctually keep an eye on all the students/ teachers. All very possible. Good theory. -------------------- <a href="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#quiz:results:219055"><img src="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/newquiz/take_quiz/image/219055" /></a> <a href="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#quiz:results:219094"><img src="http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/newquiz/take_quiz/image/219094" /></a>

Chocolate Frog Cards are much too uncertain. What, if Harry never started to collect them? What, if he got 700 and looked at his Dumbledore only once in a year? And then - I don't think Frog!Dumbledore can visit Portrait!Dumbledore - they're different. Frog!Dumbledore can't speak, for one thing. And it would become quite crowded if some of the Frog!Dumbledores would gather in the Portrait. Sorry, don't buy it. -------------------- Wanna hear my filks? You can find them all on my filk site!

Seems highly unlikely that Dumbledore is spying on his students via chocolate frog cards, I expect he has better things to do with his time and I think Dumbledore values people's privacy more than he would enjoy hearing teenagers gossip and rumours (which would be the majority of things he would pick up). Also, Dumbledore's comment about not wanting to be taken off the chocolate frog cards is just there as humour - Dumbledore doesn't mind all his higher powers being thrown away as long as he can still be on children's confectionary cards. I don't think it was a serious comment, and we didn't hear it from Dumbledore himself either. -------------------- "But Dumbledore says he doesn't care what they do as long as they don't take him off the Chocolate Frog Cards"
