Now, Rolshan (me):

DU's motives are very difficult to read for everything
she does. Is it really possible (as Serius thought)
that she is just a horrible human being insanely
dedicated to Ministry's goals, combined with prejudice
against "halfbreeds". Just barely... 

But think how incredibly helpful to V a murder of
Harry Potter would have been. Or expelling Trelawney
from the school where she is protected from DE's
attempts to find out what the prophecy was or finding
out about any new prophecies.

Also it seems clear that she knows about Hagrid's trip
to the giants...in the Hagrid's Tale (or should it
have been Hagrid's Tail as Galdriel Waters says?)
chapter, she makes this clear with her references to
the mountains, etc. Yet Hagrid thinks it was DE's
tailing him and DEs dealing with the giants. So how
did she find out? Was the ministry tailing him and mdm
Olympe too, if so why on earth? Or did she know from
DE's???????????????????//
