Ron is Dumbledore.

Holy crap, holy crap, holy -crap-!!

If he isn't, there had best be some fancy footwork by JKR, what with all this stacked up in the favor of that (admittedly nutty-sounding) idea. When I first saw the kicker in ixchelmala & lizardlaugh's theory, I was like, "!!! ...no" of course. But.

Now all I can think of is Ron's broken wand in CoS, and what a sadly underdeveloped unserious typical-boy wizard he is, and how quietly jealous he is of others' abilities and fame and so on, how overshadowed he feels by his brothers. Poor Ron, right, always in the sidelines.

It would be perfect. PERFECT. If Ron turned out to... well... be the greatest (and least serious!) wizard alive (even though the time-travel idea still hurts my head).

God, I love him. My mind is completely blown. Completely. I never read all the silly canon-predicting theories. I mean. Who cares, really. I'm not a plot-obsessed person, anyway, more into characterization. But. This has such -huge- consequences for characterization. It blows my mind.

Holy crap. Dumbledore really did refer to their relationship in the past tense in OoTP. "Had ever been", indeed. Gah. It was this that really clinched it for me. How else could you explain that? I just want to see someone explain that some other way, man. 'Cause otherwise-- DUDE. RON! If it's not true, it should be.

I always thought that Dumbledore's love for Harry was a little... much. Like. Why does he love him so much? Why? HOLY CRAP. And Dumbledore sees himself holding a pair of socks in Erised, and if socks symbolize mother-love, wah!! Omg. He-- omg, he must really have missed his mother. :((

I am completely enthralled by this theory. I want to grab my novels and re-read all weekend, looking at the series in a whole new way. The whole idea is so sneaky, so devious, so completely logical and illogical at the same time, it's brilliant. I love it.

And, seriously, the sock thing almost made me cry.

I know!! Everything would be different. Everything. WAH!! I am so excited~:)) I'm not sure if I want someone to actually write a futurefic based on this or if I just want JKR to do it. Prolly the latter. Omg. I always thought that Cassie Claire's Diviner!Ron was on the right track, you know. Ron's tactical abilities are obvious and underutilized. I definitely think -something- has to happen on the Ron front in the next 2 books, something that really gives Ron a lot more power (since he's so insecure and yet has clear potential and is in a perfect position, as Harry's best friend, to like-- do things that affect Harry & everything else).

Oh man. I know what you mean about the sock thing. That was just sad. Wah. WAH. It just makes such perfect -sense-, it's almost scary. And I can't think of any other explanation for it except that it was just another instance of the sock metaphor/usage we see with Harry & Ron & the house-elves. And yet. This is the -Mirror of Erised-. It's -important-. Why would it be -that- important to Dumbledore??? WAH!! :((
