I alternately like the idea that Snape and Dumbledore somehow worked out some sort of magical fake-out, so that Dumbledore, now officially "dead", could go underground and work in secret.
("Ten years ago, a crack wizard team was sent to prison by the Wizengamot for a crime they did not commit. These wizards promptly escaped from maximum-security Azkaban to the London underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as wizards of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The D-Team.")
Also, I still think it would've been funnier, particularly since there's a line in the book that opens things up for the joke, for the Half-Blood Prince to have been... Utena Tenjou.
