Pippin:
What about The Order of the Phoenix? We know Dumbledore 
has a spy in the Ministry, because somebody had to have told 
him about the change in the time of the hearing  for him to show 
up with Mrs. Figg in tow. 

It  can't be Shacklebolt, because he didn't tell Arthur about the 
change. It can't be Tonks, because she was off duty at GP.  
Making it a character we never heard of would make it 
impossible to guess -- no fair.

JKR said she was afraid Percy was acting of his own volition, 
which is no problem --  it just means he has  free will (see my 
published works.) A devious answer, I admit.

Dumbledore gives us a clue. He calls it a lucky mistake that he 
got there three hours early. A lucky mistake? That's a "felilx 
culpa", right? A sin that leads to a blessing,  like Percy's quarrel 
with his dad. 

As for the letter to Ron? IMO,its actual purpose was to draw 
Harry's attention to the fate of Sturgis Podmore. Voldemort's 
reaction to that was no doubt responsible for the pain Harry felt 
in his scar.
