And this Death Eater would be the ESE Traitor of yet unknown identity.
Pippin, referring to some of your earler posts, I completely agree
with you that the series is going to have a big time traitor, and it
is going to be one of the earlier war participants, who was
introduced to the reader early in the series as a good guy. This
would be the one whom Voldie really meant as "his most faithful
servant in Hogwarts", and who, no doubt, was popping up throughout
the whole story in the episodes like one you have just analyzed
in "Third man" post.
As a faithful lurker of this list, I know all about ESE Lupin and
have to admit it's a very likely possibility. Though I'd rather have
him as a goodie :) The other suspects would be such people as
McGonagall (Elkins' subject), Snape or even Hagrid. Or maybe it could
be somebody who was always there, but on the sidelines, away from
readers' scrutiny? Like Flitwick or Pomfrey?
The other thing I could propose (no doubt, somebody have already done
it) is a student who is not really a student. If magic can give a
grown-up man a babyhead and turn a toad into tadpole, may be there is
a way to revert a grown-up human to his or her child version.
