Ginger:

I was rereading OoP the other day, and I noticed something I hadn't 
before.  Knowing me, it has been discussed to death, and I was off 
Filking or something, but here goes:  (page references are US 
hardcover, chapter 35)

The 12 you listed above are canon from p. 788, where Malfoy splits 
them up to chase after the kids.  However, on p. 787, when Harry is 
running away from the DE's, a hand grabs him, Hermione yells 
"stupify" and the hand releases him.

To whom did the hand belong?  Was it Goyle, Sr. who was then left 
behind (thus not sent anywhere by Malfoy) or was it one of the 
other 12, and someone stopped for a quick "enervate" as they chased 
the kids.  I kind of doubt this, as people we've seen enervated are 
a bit disoriented (Winky comes to mind) and the chase is immediately 
after the stupfication.

Perhaps the DE's were doomed from the start for bringing 13 along?

Thoughts?
Ginger, getting company today and not at all ready.
