I am not kneasy, and have already proposed Snape as a possible 
betrayal candidate (after DD died), but it occured to me that there 
was another person who could betray the order and/or Harry - 
Mundungus. After all, it is a bit suspicious that the dementors 
just "happen" to show up about an hour after he skips off, supposedly 
to get some stolen caulderons. How could Umbridge know that he was 
gone? She can't see through invisibility cloaks, after all. The 
dementors could not be hanging around either - Harry would have seen 
them or felt them. The time lapse between Dung's disappearance and 
the dementors arrival was sufficient for him to report to her so she 
could set the dementors on Harry.

The second time we see him following Harry is the Hogs Head where, 
interestingly enough, someone again tips off Umbridge. We are 
supposed to think it's that toilet guy, but maybe it was a group 
effort.

Motive? Well, Dung is a crook. He seems to be willing to go pretty 
low to make some money, or it may just be a convenient facade. The 
only guarantee we have that he is loyal is that he owes something to 
DD. Interestingly, just like Snape.

Too many suspicious characters in the order whose only motive appears 
to be loyalty to DD. I'd take the candidate from that group...
