Potioncat:
It is ambigious and I'm sure it's on purpose. If nothing else, it
makes the battle scene more chaotic.
But, I have an idea. I think the Big Blond DE petrified Greyback. I
think he's one of DD's spies. Look at what he does. He's sending
spells all over the place but doesn't hit any of the Order members.
He kills one of the DEs (not told it's an AK) He fights with Hagrid,
then sets his house on fire to distract him. (I think.) He seems to
be trying to get out of Hogwarts while causing the least possible
damage to anyone. Although some of the readers think he's the one who
Crucioed Harry, we aren't told that. It could have been the brother
of the sibling pair who was seen Crucioing earlier in the battle. All
three of them are behind Harry at that moment.
The weakest part of this theory is, if he was working for the Order,
why didn't he send word about the attack on Hogwarts? Unless of
course, he didn't have time. Also, if he is a spy, the Order members
must not know him.
