SSSusan:
Yea!!  Someone who at least believes it's possible Arthur could 
betray the Order...albeit accidentally.

[I'm one of the ones whose pet peeve is people assuming MOLLY will 
likely betray the Order because of her love for her children...but 
who seem to believe Arthur is immune from this!  I feel that *any* 
person who deeply loves another is susceptible to this kind of 
blackmail.]

Anyway, to your question.  That's interesting--IS there any kind 
of "wizard detecting" or "muggle detecting" ability inherent in 
witches & wizards?  Not that I'm aware of.  But did I miss something 
in the books?  Is this something Aurors are capable of?

Anybody have thoughts on this?
