Hmmm, I forgot abou this.....
So, there were 12 Death Eaters captured at the Ministry that night...
Here is my conjecture on this:  Fudge and others all saw Harry there, so 
Harry may get some credit.  (Not to mention they might want to suck up to 
him after trying to make his life hell.)  Dum,bledore obvioulsy was seen there. 
Of the Order members present (Lupin, Moody, Tonks and Kingsley) (Yes, I 
know I forgot Sirius, but he is gone throught ht eveil and nobody can proove 
he was there and they would peobably accuse him of being a DE if they knew 
he was, so I skip him).  Anyway, of the Order members there, probably Lupin 
brough the students back to the castle--maybe even before the other ministry 
officials could see them all.  M, T, & K, along with Dumbledore and maybe 
harry will have the credit for getting the DE.  T&K will definatley because they 
will be able to advance in their job standings because of this and Moody 
because he wasn't abou tto run--infact he probably escorted those DE all the 
way to where ever they were holed up.  
We never hear (last chapter where they are reading the paper) that there is 
general or Ministry knowledge of the students who were there.  Therefore, if 
there is to be rewards money paid out, were talking: Moody (maybe), Lupin 
(less likley maybe-- I think he would have rushed out because werewolves 
already have a bad rep), Tonks (very likely), Kingsley (very likely), 
Dumbledore (likely, but would go to Order probably or maybe he would regift 
it to the students who helped), and Harry (likely because the ministry needs 
to kiss his ass for all they did and he may do some regifting as well, if he gets 
anything).  
Hmm, so, it seems this may be something that may drive a wedge between 
Harry and say, someone who is sensitive about money....hmmm...Ron, 
perhaps?
