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 really love it when people are more logical and deductive than me. I get to bask in the vicarious light of reason, eheheh. I liked what you said about the inconsistency in the chess-board timing, in other words. It's really weird that there's this much -room- for this sort of interpretation in the books to start with-- that there are these parallels, faulty as they are, everywhere. I think it's likely that JKR intended at least some of these things as Easter eggs or something, but probably she didn't seriously plot them out or anything. Heh.

And one would have to be almost insane to write Ron-as-Dumbledore, now that I think about it. Just. The whole idea. Yeah. It hurts my brain. Who'd write that? It's mad :>

I think the D/Hr idea was silly & there's clearly many other explanations possible there. To me, D/Hr is like... a reasoned-out "well, they have such-and-such conflicts that could be played on" ship. There's no active chemistry there, I guess, so it's all supposition and circumstantial evidence and over-interpreting of actions. Now I'm treading dangerously close to implying H/D is more canon, hehehe. ^^; I always thought that was silly. No slash is canon. Hmmm. But the relationship (of whatever sort) between H&D is more there in canon, I guess I mean. Heh. It wouldn't need the leap of sudden development to make happen. Well, it -would-, but of a different sort, not the getting-to-know-you sort. Eh. Whatever.

It's a pretty good theory, like a firework. But then it fizzles. For me, anyway :> Maybe I'm just easily bored...? :-?
