Potioncat:
Well, we know DD had more than one spy. Of course, another DE who is 
really a spy for the Order might be too much. OTOH, JKR tells us we'll 
be getting to know an Order member better in book 7. Most of us think 
that's Aberforth, but who knows?

It seems very strange to me that JKR gives so much attention to this 
particular DE who seems to be firing wildly, fighting off Tonks, and 
the only person he harms at all is a fellow DE who is killed. He is 
however, fighting well enough that Tonks doesn't hurt him. So either 
he's defending himself well while appearing not to, or Tonks was only 
pretending to fight him. I can't see them doing a pretend fight with 
real enemies there. So I'm assuming Tonks didn't know him. 

OTOH, she didn't name him. So he may be even less important than Mark 
Evans.
