Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Dumbledore, perhaps Lupin or Arthur. He doesn't 
have a track record of keeping secrets from R/H for very long(the 
contents of the prophecy remain to be seen), and DD has an uncanny 
ability to encourage Harry to discuss his burdens (the sorting hat 
considering him for Slytherin). All of the above people know about 
instances of rule-breaking and/or law-breaking by Harry and haven't 
turned traitor (yet anyway). So, I still believe there's a good 
chance Harry will confide the "crucio" to someone.  Jen

---> "msbeadsley" _realtime_:  I think Harry has been much less apt 
to share lately.  He isn't talking about much of anything:  the 
prophesy, Sirius's death, what he saw in the pensieve (including 
lying to his friends about not needing Occlumency lessons anymore), 
and there are probably several more I'm missing.  He even kept his 
financial support of Gred and Forge to himself until later in OoP.  I 
don't think Harry's as worried about the MoM finding out or even 
being considered a lawbreaker as he is just increasingly keeping his 
own counsel.  And it seems to me that DD's "uncanny ability to 
encourage Harry to discuss" may be a thing of the past.  It really 
depends on which Harry we get when Book 6 opens and where he goes 
from there.
