I thought it was bad enough (as I gathered from the trailer) that Mr. Weasley told Harry that Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission. He can't possibly know that. Only Snape and Dumbledore (and Narcissa and Bellatrix) know it, and none of them are telling anybody. But not even they know about the Vanishing Cabinet, which is Draco's "plan" for doing the "job" that Voldemort assigned him.

But, then, DD would have to know about it, too, because he'd have told Mr. Weasley! Or better yet, just entered the RoR and Vanished the Vanishing Cabinet.

And, of course, Harry is trying and failing, just as Snape has, to figure out Draco's plan.

Carol:

Joann: No, the voice you heard in the trailer is Remus. He's just repeating what Harry is telling him. Remus tells Harry he doesn't think it's likely. He also tells Harry to trust Snape because Dumbledore does.

As for the vanishing cabinet, Mr. Weasley just tells Harry that the  object Harry saw Draco looking at at B&B was a vanishing cabinet.
