Why not both?  I think spies & betrayals might become commonplace in 
the last two books.  We'll see.

I think this is an interesting direction to take the betrayal 
discussion.  I think there is a good chance that one of Harry's 
fellow students will be recruited by Voldemort (someone whom we 
didn't already know was a bad egg - not Draco, in other words).

I think that the five students who accompanied Harry to the Ministry 
are the "untouchables".  They have shown true loyalty to Harry, and 
LOTS of courage in standing up to the death-eaters.  They would 
neither crack under pressure (like Peter), nor join them willingly.  
If I'm correct here, that means that Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, 
and Ginny can all be cleared of suspicion.  Who does that leave?

Dean & Seamus - we don't know enough about these two to vouch for 
them one way or the either.  Seamus has shown a willingness to turn 
on Harry.  Dean seems more level-headed.

The Creevey brothers - With people on this board comparing Peter 
Pettigrew to both Ron & Neville, let's not forget that Harry himself 
compared Peter to Colin Creevey!  Foreshadowing?  Those two are 
muggle-born though, aren't they?  That would make a tough recruit for 
Voldemort.

Cho Chang - I don't know why, but I would love it if she turned out 
to be a Voldemort supporter.  Maybe it's cuz I don't like her very 
much.  Honestly, I don't see this as a very likely scenario.

We don't really know too many other students that well (other than 
the slimy Slytherins).  There's Ernie Macmillan, those two guys who 
played beaters for Gryffindor to replace Gred & Forge, Cho's friend 
(Edgecomb, was it?), Roger Davies (has he graduated yet?)... anyone 
else?
