Susan:
Ummmm.  I thought I addressed this in post #92652.  In that, I 
talked about a couple of lies which I believe could have worked.  
Here:

>>>A couple of possibilities for alternative scenarios I can think of
are:

1) Is it not possible (though not very exciting, I'll grant), that
Harry could have left a note w/ someone? Maybe another DA member,
with instructions to owl it to an Order member [Dung, Moody,
Kingsley, Tonks]?
2) Is it not also possible, given how owls can find *anyone*, that
Harry could have run up to the owlery himself before leaving and sent
an owl to DD? [We have canon for this possibility. Remember Harry
sending owls to Sirius when Sirius was on the run?]

Those aren't very exciting possibilities, but they are at least other
possibilities than that Snape contacted DD to tell him about Harry's
rushing off to the MoM.<<<

Again, we know they're not true, but would Voldy know?  Voldy knows 
that Potter has allies, even if he doesn't know about The Order 
itself [and I suspect that he does].  Passing along one of these 
tales [#2 seems more likely, to me] could get Snape off the hook, 
could it not?
