ixchelmala have posted the mother of all HP theories. It's either the biggest crock I've ever read, or complete and utter genius.

It starts off with a discussion of the chess game in SS/PS as a metaphor for the second war, which is something others have explored, notably

lycoris (here). Then it then takes a huge (but well-supported) leap in explaining how Ron can be both a knight and the player: Ron is Dumbledore.

It's stunningly plausible, but I can't say I want it to be true -- if it is, it won't come as a surprise when it's revealed!

It also occurs to me that JKR has mentioned that one of the kids will become a Hogwarts professor, but "not the one you think" -- ie, not Hermione. This has led some to speculate that it's going to be Ron, which of course would match up with the Ron=AD theory. Scary shit, dude.
