That's  interesting, but the thing that struck me was that it must 
have been James (if pressed for asecond choice it would be Sirius--
but James seems the most likely now.) Snape slipped way down 
the "kissing Florence" list after OoP because of what we found out 
about James' habit of hexing anyone who annoyed him--read 
as "everyone he could". Anyone he thought was spying on him would 
have merited a major hex.  
DD was annoyed that Bertha had followed him at all--implying that 
EVERYONE knew that James (IMO) was the sort who'd hex anything or 
anybody in his way.
