Great post Jen!  I just want to comment on one of the points that 
people have bring up in this Percy discussion:

> 
> 2.  Who notified Dumbledore about the change in trial date?
> 

I see a number of potential answers to this question:

1.  Percy is secretly working undercover for Dumbledore, and he is 
able to pass the trial time change information along to Dumbledore 
shortly before the trial begins.

2.  One of the Aurors who works for the Order could have seen Arthur 
and Harry rushing off to the trial, and then contacted Dumbledore to 
let him know to get over to the MoM right away.

3.  Maybe Arthur had time to contact Dumbledore himself, after he 
sends Harry into the courtroom alone.

4.  Possibly some of the portraits of former Headmasters could have 
been keeping an eye on Harry at the MoM (like the portrait in St. 
Mungo's who does a head-count to make sure everyone who set off to 
visit Arthur in the hospital got there safely).

Number 4 is my favorite, especially if someone can find a reference 
to Harry noticing a portrait on his trip to the MoM that morning.  If 
Percy does turn out to be spying for Dumbledore at this point, 
though, I'll give him credit for passing this info along to 
Dumbledore, even if it isn't explicitly stated in a future book.

So... can anyone narrow down this list, or add to it?  I'm sorry if 
I'm off base on any of them... I don't have access to the book right 
now.
