It is unknown who returned the Invisibility Cloak to Harry until the book's end, when it is revealed it was Dumbledore. However, that raises a large question. When Harry is caught at the Mirror of Erised, Dumbledore mentions that he does not need a cloak to be invisible. Invisibility can be created by a spell, the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Disillusionment|Disillusionment charm]], that Dumbledore probably excels at. Also, the note to Harry reads that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|James Potter]] "left" the Cloak in Dumbledore's possession shortly before he died. However, it is learned later that Dumbledore actually asked James if he could borrow it. Why, then, would Dumbledore have wanted James Potter's Invisibility Cloak? It would seem that he has no need for it, after all.
 
This last point is particularly interesting, as the author mentions that it is a [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=23 peculiarly never-asked question]. It is a key plot point in the series' final book, as the Cloak is one of the titular [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Deathly Hallows|Deathly Hallows]]. It should be noted that the author employs a technique to conceal that this is even a question. The Invisibility Cloak's previous ownership is separated in the text from Dumbledore's statement that he does not need one, by several exciting events, even though they happen in the same chapter; the admission that it was Dumbledore who had been keeping the Cloak for the intervening decade is several chapters ahead. Separating the three parts of the paradox removes the immediacy that makes it a question the reader thinks about.
 
Dumbledore's interest in this Cloak will be echoed again in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 10|the seventh book]]. Harry will finallybe wonderreminded why James gaveof it to Dumbledore when he reads Lily's letter to Sirius, byin which Lily mentions Dumbledore having borrowed James' Invisibility Cloak. Harry, now knowing himself how the Disillusionment charm functions, only then wonders why Dumbledore would have been interested in it. While we have, by this time, seen the Disillusionment Charm at work, we similarly have not wondered about this point, because of the author's skill at concealing the question.
