I had one other thought that kind of tied into the whole
Spymaster!DD idea. Aside from the intelligence network, DD also
strikes me as quite the propaganda-meister.
Consider: "What happened down in the dungeons between yourself and
Professor Quirrell is a complete secret, so, naturally, the whole
school knows." (PS/SS 296).
And who is the ONLY person who KNOWS what happened down in the
dungeons between Harry and Professor Quirrell???
Ron and Hermione were both left behind, the only people who KNEW
that it was Professor Quirrell were Harry (who was unconscious in
the Hospital Wing at the time) and Dumbledore himself.
Something similar happens in OotP (you'll have to forgive me again
for not being able to cite the reference properly) right at the
beginning of the chapter that immediately follows The Centaur and
the Sneak. Harry and Marietta were the only students present, and
neither of them talked, but SOMEHOW the whole school knows about
DD's showdown with the MoM and his spectacular escape. Granted,
McGonagall could have spread the word (in fact, I have no doubt that
she did) but on WHOSE ORDERS???
Just something to think about.
Flop.
