<<<<Neri and Pippin are discussing Snape's action/inaction with 
regards to alerting OoP HQ re Harry's vision of Sirius.>>>>>>> 

I, Aggie, have a question that defers from this original topic:

> Pippin:
> Also out of *Dumbledore's* reach. The great fear he had was that
> Voldemort would force him to attack Harry. Note also that despite 
this fear, and that Umbridge is on her way, he waits for  Phineas to 
find out if "the coast is clear" before sendingHarry to GP.  *That's* 
significant.  Surely with Harry's safety at stake, Dumbledore wasn't 
worried about mere politeness, or about catching Sirius with his 
pants down. What, or who, was Dumbledore afraid of?


Aggie:
I hadn't picked up on this before! (One of the reasons I'm SO pleased 
I've discovered you lot! It's great being part of the biggest book 
club in the Potterverse! Maybe even RL!!)

Have you any ideas as to WHAT/WHO/WHY?  The only theory I can come up 
with is that he was checking Kreacher was out of the way.  Maybe that 
was a clue that should have lead us to the house elf being the 
traitor.  

I've just realised who I'm talking to!!! LOL! Of course you have an 
idea of who it is!!!!  ;o))
