Your explanation makes a lot of sense and yes, I realise that I am
mostly speculating at this point, but still... somebody has to be
the evesdropper, right?

Do you agree that it is unlikely to be a character we haven't heard
about so far?

>Lupinlore disagreed:
No, actually, I don't. I don't think we have enough evidence to even
make THAT sort of statement with any degree of confidence.

>Kemper disagrees as well:
But for different reasons. I don't think discovering who is the
eavesdropper is important. I speculated that the Dark Lord (I'm
assuming LV is the DL) killed the eavesdropper because the
prophecy/prediction/implied possibility contained info about "the one
(not Neo)with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord" and I believe the
Dark Lord wouldn't want that knowledge/prophecy/... circulating among
his ranks or the wizarding world.

vmonte agrees with Alla:

I think the eavesdropper is definitely someone we know. The fact that 
Dumbledore does not mention his or her name to Harry is probably 
because this person now works for the Order or is someone JKR doesn't 
yet want us to know was there. 

Whenever there is a scene were it would be logical for Harry to ask a 
question and he doesn't, it usually means that JKR doesn't want us to 
have that information yet. If I were Harry I would have 
asked: "Professor Dumbledore, who was the eavesdropper?"

In fact there are many places were Harry should have asked for 
information and he doesn't. Some of my questions would include:

What spell was Luna's mother doing when she died?

Why are the Bloody Baron Bloody, and Sir Nick almost headless?

What happened to Harry's grandparents?

Is Flamel now dead or is he still getting his affairs in order?

How did Dumbledore and Flamel actually meet? Was DD once Flamel's 
apprentice?

What's the deal with Grindelwald? Also, if he was defeated by 
Dumbledore in 1945 at which point did DD then return to teach at 
Hogwarts during Riddle's time? 

To who does the brain that attacked Ron belong to?

I know there are more I just cannot remember them now.

Vivian, whose four-year-old son told her (while watching the PoA 
movie) that the reason why Sirius was so mad in the Shrieking Shack 
was because he was dirty and needed a bath.
