Ahem, being an Auror would put him in a position of risk, which is perfectly 
good for Voldemort. It is so easy to be killed 'in action'. No, he would send 
the correct answers, why not? Why using direct lies that can be detected so 
that Harry is aware that it's you who is feeding him and how and when you do 
that? 

I consider more useful to use thoughts that Harry can believe inserted with 
care in apropiate moments. As 'Draco deserves the treatment that the 
marauders gave to Snape'.

I suposse Voldemort has short term plans. I understand the kids might have 
long ones, but Voldemort, after the DoM show? The long term plans started 
long ago, IMO, and the war is far on its way by now.

I see at least one very good example of throwing a gauntlet to your adversary 
in an early stage of the series, with the public slap in the face to 
Slytherin during the house cup ceremony at the end of PS/SS.
