that needs so much protection, and he probably was not in the Order. 
But I'm with you in the whole, "If-you-tell-you'll-get-ugly-spots-on-
your-face" for the order. Though Dumbledore would probably had a 
worse thing happen to the person who betrayed the order. Hmm, do we 
know anyone who betrayed the order since Wormtail was definity *not* 
in the order?

     On page 174 of the US version, Harry states that not only was 
wormtail in the picture of the Order, but he was seated between Harry 
parents.  I think it would have been a very good idea for Dumbledore 
to do a Sneak charm on a list of members.  It could have saved the 
lives of the Potters.  
     Hermione is a very clever witch, but still nothing compared to 
Dumbledore, so why did she think of this protection for DA and 
Dumbledore didn't for the Order?  Of course he thought he was 
protecting them by making Wormtail their Secret Keeper.  
     And a quick question on a completely different topic.  Didn't 
anyone notice that Sirius didn't have the Death Eaters mark on his 
arm?  Even if the MoM didn't know about those till now, couldn't that 
have been used to prove his innocence?  This has been driving me 
nuts.
