Cool spelling of your name. :-)

And, that thought sounds quite plausible.  Hermione wouldn't need to include
Harry and Ron on the document because she knows and trusts them and knows
that none of the trio would give the DA  away to anyone who wasn't
trustworthy...at least, not by choice.

Cheers,
Lee :-)
