Ex: Harry Potter: But, Sir, I though we weren't allowed to apparate on Hogwarts grounds.
Albus Dumbledore: Well, being me... has its privileges.
Ex2: “Professor, why couldn't we just Apparate directly into your old colleague's house?'
'Because it would be quite as rude as kicking down the front door,' said Dumbledore. 'Courtesy dictates that we offer fellow wizards the opportunity of denying us entry.”
besides, it's also describing an action that doesn't exist in the real word. It's a word that makes sense in the magical fictional world of Harry Potter.
Looks more like Gandalf than Dumbledore. Why the hell is Gandalf incorrectly spelled but Dumbledore isn't? Anyhow, doesn't Dumble have more frizzy hair?
