Can you point something out that points to oz being emrys from the teachers pov? It’s being read like an awful plot device rather than him having any evidence or hints whatsoever
the main linking point is hagrid appearing in the leaky cauldron and meeting Oz there a day after the descendant was discovered. Hagrid mentioning that part changed dumbledores 'reason to believe' to 'im sure' as not only is Oz a talented orphan Slytherin, he was literally around during the time that the descendant was found placing him very high on the list. Dumbledores initial interest in him would have been due to the fact he's an orphan Slytherin's (maybe another dark lord kind of thought) however it instead led to Merlin as the year progressed. I hope this explains a bit more what I'm trying to portray :)
Genist:Ok, except Dumbles literally has a direct example in Voldemort that this isn't an unusual thing.
So, he JUST finished admitting Oz is more intelligent than expected and capable of great foresight. But he's incapable of understanding that him allowing the bullying to happen will have given away to Oz that Dumbles knew and told teachers not to act, which would create enmity, which would work AGAINST dumbles' wishes that Oz be a boon for him and his faction. Pepega so smart.
