The  first is the headmaster who has his other portrait in the 
MoM. Sorry,  I've forgotten his name, but Dumbledore sends him 
to alarm somebody  after Arthur was attacked. As we later learn, 
Arthur was attacked in  the MoM, therefore the headmaster must 
have his second portrait  there. He's a possibility. Not 
necessarily a likely one, since the  MoM is big, and it would be a 
big coincidence if he heard anything,  but a possibility 
nonetheless.<

Pippin:
The wizard says there's no portraits in the  corridor where Arthur 
was injured. That doesn't entirely rule it out, of course, but it 
means that the portraits can't spy on the wizengamot directly.

Marchbanks. <

Pippin:
I assume from Fudge's stammering comment "you -er--got our 
--er-- message" that the wizengamot had been told that 
Dumbledore would  be notified of the change, and the message 
was expected to get "lost" on the way. He would hardly be likely 
to let known allies of Dumbledore in on that plan, so she 
wouldn't have thought she needed to notify him.
