Thread open to Alberforth Dumbledore, mysterious and less powerful brother of Albus. Most of the Order of the Phoenix are not familiar with him, so what does he do for the order?
Was he the barman in the Hogs Head? Did he catch the spy who overheard the prophecy? Why would he perform and illegal charm on goats? Can he read?
I believe that he was the barman in the Hogs Head. He looked familiar to Harry, and there was the smell of goats. I think that since seedy wizards frequent the Hogs Head, he is the ears of the Order there.
