Karen:  I'm not going to attempt all of your questions, but I think 
that the answer to the second part of this question is that only 
Harry and Luna could hear the voices for the same reason that only 
Harry and Luna can see Thestrals: they are the only ones of that 
group at that time who have seen someone die.

Karen:  on a totally cynical note - because if he had the DEs would 
have immediately killed them all and that would have been the end of 
the story!!
