rantman_2000:  you are the one who is incorrect.  Dennis *IS* indeed a 2nd 
year.  We meet Dennis in GoF at the sorting (only the second sorting Harry 
had seen after his own) when Dennis gives the old thumbs up after mouthing 
that he fell in the lake.  

And not that I belive Ginny helped him to a tunnel one way or the other, but 
Ginny's tendancy to hang with Gred and Forge and to aid and abet them in 
their pranks certainly would lead one to believe that Ginny may be privy to a 
lot of thier knowledge of Hogwarts, including the passageways.
