Twoflower2:  *nods*

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.
