bboyminn:

I don't think the reward is G1,000 to each person who helped capture
the escaped Death Eaters, it's G1,000 per Death Eater captured. A
agree, what ever the reward is, it's divided among the qualifying
participants. 

So, each ESCAPED Death Eater has a G1,000 reward on his/her head. But
the is only for the ESCAPED Death Eater. There would be no reward for
people like Lucius Malfoy. Well, that's not completely true, the
Minitry might create a separate independant reward, but that is
unrelated to the Escaped DE's. 

Now all we have to do is sort out how many of those capture were on
the poster of escaped DE's and multiply that by G1,000. As far as who
gets the money, I'm inclined to think that Auror, who in a sense are
professional policemen (like FBI) aren't allowed to accept rewards. I
further think all the adults not working for the Ministry would decline. 

But, when the rewards are divided among the select DA members, Harry
will talk everyone into kicking back a share so that Lupin gets a cut.
Although, Moody could qualify for a share of the reward, I think as an
ex-Auror, he would refuse on general principle.

So, ((how many escapees captured) X G1,000) divided by (the
participating DA member plus Lupin).

So, how much is that?
