I for one, used to think that Neville might be the
traitor. He tries to not to cause trouble, and he is
not the most cunning one, so he might be mislead
easily. I know that is exactly betraying, but...
Anyway, since OoP, I don't think so anymore. He has
shown courage before, in SS when he stood up to Harry
and co. and DD wisely rewarded him for it, but also
now that he has started to show some real powers so he
will have much more self esteem, maybe even enough to
cause trouble.

So, who can it be now? IMHO, the real traitor should
have a very low self esteem, so that being a traitor
will make him special. Also he/she should have some
inside information to betray. Percy for example, does
not have inside information, though I can't see him
giving them to Voldemort willingly and knowingly. The
Ministry, maybe, but not to Voldemort. Snape won't be
the one, either I think. First of all it would be too
cliche, and second of all he has his own reasons for
betraying Voldemort, though we don't know them yet.
However I bet it was him, who learned that V. was
after James and Lily and told DD. Though he detested
James, and look down on Lily for being Muggle born, so
maybe it wasn't him. But then again, we don't know any
other people who has betrayed V. Also an intersting
point is that he has been teaching potions for 14
years, so he must be employed right after V. downfall,
meaning he was a full time Death Eater before that.
Anyway, I drifted away from the subject.

I think the traitor will be someone we already know
and trust, because JKR has been underlining the impact
of someone turning his back on DD and the good guys
since the third book. However, she has hid the traitor
well, since a certain name does not pop in my head. 

Does a name pop in your head?
