I have another thought about Rita.  She was captured by Hermione immediately after the scene in Harry's hospital room where everyone was talking about V's return, Sirius revealed himself to Snape and Molly, and the initial plan was discussed.  So she presumably has full knowledge of these things and much more.  Yet Hermione says she intends to set her free once they reach London.

Am I missing something here?  Isn't Hermione putting everyone at risk by not taking her to Dumbledore immediately and putting the problem in his hands (or by not squashing the bug that is Rita, but I guess that would be a bad thing to do)?  Or do we know that Rita S didn't hear anything or won't do anything about what she heard and I'm just too thick to see it?

Sorry if this has been raised before.  It really bothers me, though!
