All we know is that "one of" Dumbledore's spies in the DEs warned him that
Voldemort was after the Potters (sorry, it's [unknown] again - gets
everywhere, [unknown]...). We don't even know if it's the same [unknown]
that tipped him off about the attack on Godric's Hollow.

Would anyone have been too worried about a stray rat in the Hog's Head!? And
indeed, if it was Peter, why would [unknown] who threw the eavesdropper out
have been troubled about there being a trusted friend of Dumbledore outside
in the corridor?

But here's just another small thought, following on from the suggestion last
time of there being a spell which induces a Seer to prophesy - maybe it was
the eavesdropper who did the spell...
