Did you mean spying FOR Dumbledore because that is what I meant in my
post.  I see him as an undercover spy working FOR Dumbledore and
against MOM.

Even though MOM now acknowledges LV's return, he would still be a good
spy FOR Dumbledore because there are plenty in MOM that still need
spying on.  Was Lucius definitely imprisoned at the end of OoP or will
he buy/lie his way out again in Book 6?  Truly evil Umbridge may find
her way back to MOM and all bureaucracies have a fair number of
dunderheads, etc. that should be kept under surveillance.

Second, being estranged from his family and maybe (from the outside)
looking as if his climb up MOM is blocked, he maybe recruited by LV to
be a Death Eater -- exactly the way Dumbledore planned and what brave,
dear, Percy volunteered to do.  All to save his family and Harry.  I'm
thinking Arthur was let in on the secret so that Percy would not have
to bear the burden of such a secret by himself.

I think I feel a fanfic coming on...
