We learned that Dumbledore had a brother and that he was in the Order tha last time, we also know he aint dead (considering Moody was saying who was dead and who wasnt) So... where is he???, what does he do???, is he maybe someone we already know in disguise???What do u all think?

oh my! i dont no, maybe hes just working around and theres a good possiblity he might be some1 in disguise

Maybe he's the bartender at Hog's Head. Just a wild guess.

*Nods* I totally agree!

Yeah that would be amusing.

Either that or he will play a key part later, I get the impression though as he is not around maybe they had a falling out (he and Albus), maybe he's a deatheater, that would be cool twist.

I agree- that would be sort of freak though, becuase he could be spying on the ORder... OR maybe hes in Hawaii lounging on a beach chair!?!

B) He's just chillin.

maybe hes the headmaster at another school far far far away....

Maybe he is a death eater, that would definately be interesting. I mean having brothers on opposing teams in the good vs. evil war. That would be my geuss.

thats a good guess!

I just think that he's in disguize or something like that... But he can't be a death eater, because, as Dumbledore said, he's not quite intelligent... and Voldemort doesn't accept people like him...

^thats true

Have any of you ever been to the Harry Potter Lexicon at www.hp-lexicon.org? It has every single bit of information about Harry Potter, including stuff not in the books, and they say that Aberforth is indeed the bartender at the Hog's Head.

yeah, but as J.K.Rowling DIDN'T CREATE THAT SITE, how would those from hp-lexicon.com know????

If you ask me, he is the bartender at Hog's head in Hogmeade.

Ya, I completely trust the lexicon though it may not be wise.........

Well, madam, they take info from every J.K. interview, as well as researching the books extensively, and picking up on the clues J.K. left behind. So there!

^ he's a bartender???

excuse me while i keel over *anime style*

you'd think he was something grander considering dumbledore's his bro.

I think he is a good guy turned deatheater.
He's gotta be like Dumbledore's evil brother or something crazy like that.

Still... u can't just trust it like J.K. Rowling herself! No offense, because I like the lexicon as well, but everyone makes mistakes! And if u're so wise, then give me a clue that he's the bartender. Where's the proof of that?

Theres some great evidence to back this up in the Flourish and Blotts Forum, in the 5th book threads. I really do think that its possible!!

Personally, I saw him donw my road the other day. Lol, naa. If he was a death eater than Harry would have known cuz in the 4th book, he sees all of themin nthe graveyard, doesnt he. and there were only two people who weren't there and we know who they are.

First of all, to end this constant bickering, the Lexicon does NOT say that Aberforth Dumbledore is the barkeep at the Hog's Head. They say:

Don't believe me? Look for yourself.

I myself am pretty heavily inclined in that direction, though the one thing that doesn't add up for me is that, if Aberforth is in the Order and is the barkeep of the Hog's Head, why was it neccesary for Dung to dress up in disguise and watch Harry in the Hog's Head? Wasn't Aberforth perfectly capable of doing it?

I read the clues. The seem good. I completely agree with them.
