Pippin:
Actually, the effects are different. PT leaves the person conscious,
able to move only their eyes. Stupefy knocks them out. 

Scrimgeour says that the DE had been Stupefied after Dumbledore 
died. Presumably he wouldn't trust anything a DE told him, so
there's got to be corroborating evidence of when it happened. 
There were people on the grounds looking up at the tower who 
might have seen a jet of red light from the Stunning Spell.

In that case, it suggests that someone came up to the Tower after
Harry and stunned the already frozen Death Eater so that they
could do something unobserved. Get Harry's cloak?
