Me:
My theory is it is Ludo Bagman.  He is alwasy described as walking 
around in his WILBORNE WASP UNIFORM.  It would make sense that he was 
buzzing around Harry in the scene from GOF.
Now, why would he be the wasp in the OWL exam scene in OOTP? Remember 
that Winky accuses him of being a bad dark wizard, and Harry see's 
him tried in the DD pensieve, but he got off.  I think his bumbling 
characterization is just a deception for him still being a DE. IMHO 
it seems pertinent that he was flying around just before Harry had 
the Sirius/LV dream that upset Harry so.  Bagman could have been 
spying for LV so as to let LV know when Harry was really tired 
therefore Vulnerable to LV controlling Harry's mind.
Now, back to you!
