Tonks - the deatheater

Sorry if this has been brought up as a theory earlier. If so I wont 
take credit for the idea but I haven't read any posts on this so far.

In OotP we are introduced to Tonks, the Metamorphmagus. It seemed 
wrong that she didn't become known later in the books as someone who 
actually *used* her skills as a Metamorphmagus.
So this idea came to me. What if indeed she does use her skills and 
changes into someone else on a regular basis. Into someone we already 
know but who is no longer of any real importance in the books - at 
least not to us, the readers.
What if Snape is not the spy after all - it would be a bit too 
obvious if he were, wouldn't it? So - who else would be able to take 
the position of Dumbledore's spy and be able to get very close to 
Voldemort without him even suspecting there's a spy in his midst?
Tonks might be the one.
But for her to do so she would need to take the place of someone who 
is no longer around - someone *Voldemort* thinks is STILL around - 
but isn't.

Whatever happened to Barty Ferm Jr after he had his soul sucked out? 
Do we know? 
Does Voldemort have any way of knowing what really happened to Barty 
Ferm Jr at the end of GOF? Who could have told him?

What if Barty Ferm Jr still exists - on special occassions. Tonks 
could Metamorph into Ferm Jr and take his place at the DE-meetings 
and get information directly from Voldemort to pass on to the Order.
Now - how would Tonks know when the DE's are summoned by Voldemort? 
Snape would tell her - because he knows!

I love the idea that Tonks Metamorphmagus'es herself into Barty Ferm 
Jr and attends the DE meetings.

I can't think of anyone - but one - who could have told Voldemort 
that his loyal supporter Ferm Jr was sucked dry at the end of GOF - 
and that would be Lucius. But would Fudge really have any reason to 
have told Lucius about that incident?

What do you think?
