Future of Snape's Spying

I totally agree.  My reasoning goes back to OOP, Chapter 14.  Ron 
gets an owl from Percy - in the common room, late at night.  Red 
flag.  This never happened before, to our knowledge.  Ron is so 
ticked at what his brother has written that he tears the parchment 
to pieces and tosses it into the fireplace - after Harry and 
Hermione have read it.  Hmmm.  Now another very unusual thing 
happens.  Hermione VOLUNTEERS to correct/finish Harry and Ron's 
homework for them?  What?  Our Hermione doing their work? Again, 
something that has never happened before.

Is it possible that the girl Dumbledore trusted with a time turner 
is also writing to him about the true contents of Percy's letter? 
Hermione is the only one that makes sense.  She's always with Harry 
and usually knows what he's doing or where he's going.  Also, JKR 
said that the reason for the book being so long is that it 'sets up' 
the rest of the story.
