In my opinion, she has already used the same twist twice. Twice now 
things/people have not been as they've seemed. Once in the case of 
Pettigrew and once in the case of Crouch Jnr / Mad Eye Moody.
Both of these are the same in essense (disguises), but their purpose 
and their being forced to show themselves are very different, 
different enough to be believeable. I'm sure JKR is capable of 
writing Trevor being the HBP in the story believably too.

(Just had a thought of a third example of something not exactly the 
same, but similar - Rita Skeeter.)
