I don't think F&G would do anything to harm, really
harm any student, they know when to stop (OoP, "we've
never been kicked out" and then "We didn't want to
mess study time" quoting from memory), I believe they
act against the institution not the school itself nor
the teachers, except after DD leaves. Maybe they
intended to use some sort of gas in DU's office, not a
lethal gas but some other type.

I believe neither Ron or Harry will ever let Ginny
join them in their dangerous adventures, they both
seem to look after her in a sisterly way, But we
already know she has the vein to be a member of the
Trio (our Foursome?), but will they ever let her? I
don't think so.

Voldemort was just making sure he was covered, we know
that krecher was spying for the Malfoys in the Order,
so he was acting on Narcissa's orders, she must have
told him to hurt bockbeack so Sirius would be upstairs
taking care of him. This way if Harry decided to check
first at 12 GP, Kreacher would just lie to his face.

That would have been the smart choice, Crucioing
(right verb?) someone else, say Neville for exemple
who she must have known the story. Harry would never
allow it, remember his face on DADA and the
unforgiveable curses?

> 6)  What do you think of Snape's actions?
  
Snape acted the best he could, he couldn't admit he
understood Harry in front of the DEs' sons, just plain
stupid, so he acted as he always did and like DD told
us latter, then he contacted Sirius and the Order
