    Dumbledore is an old English word for bumblebee. And JKR said as D liked music she could imagine him moving around to it like a bee. (Saw that is an interview directly with her).

    Please stop touching the statue of Greyfriars Bobby, the acid on your hands wears away the patina that took over 100 years to build up. The wee statue had a black nose until tourists started touching it's nose about 20 years ago and the bloody thing is ruined now, it will take another 100 years to build that back to how it was. What makes people come to visit a place and damage what they are coming to see? Look don't touch!!!! By the way, if you're a tourist guide in Edinburgh and encourage people to do this you need a lifetime ban from the city.
