Me now:
I wholeheartedly agree about Tonks. I think she was in my top 4
favorite new and/or comeback characters in OoP. The infiltration
possibility is certainly a good one. What would stop her from
impersonating a DE and gaining entry into LV's inner circle?
Which leads me to another thought. Repeatedly throughout the books,
an apparently good guy turns out to be an infiltrate of LV. Could we
already know characters who provide the same function for DD? Anyone
we think is already in LV's graces that really is just a spy for DD?
Never really thought about it until now... hmmm...
Also, was I the only one surprised at the extreme shadiness of Filch
in OoP? I guess I always thought he was just blowing steam and was
essentially harmless. How loyal is he to DD really? hmmm...
