Potioncat:
As I was finishing OoP, it seemed to me to be a long time between the 
DA leaving the forest and the Order members arriving at the DoM.  It 
seems Snape verified Serius was safe and thought(?) Harry was with 
Umbridge. Somehow (?) he learned they had gone into the forest and  
had not come out.  Did he look, then notify the order?  When did he 
stop looking and why didn't he find Umbridge?  Or did he find her and 
not care, since Harry wasn't with her. I believe it said he organized 
a search.  I wonder who else was looking?

And another missing moment.  Back in CoS, Quirrell says that Snape 
watched him closely.  So why didn't Snape know that Quirrell was in 
the Chamber? or at least that both Quirrell and the trio were 
unaccounted for?
