Ceridwen:
I know you didn't ask me, but I think all four chapters are on the same 
night (and going into the stay at the Weasleys as well).  I think what 
JKR is doing, is going from the least-known, the Other Minister, Fudge, 
and Scrimgeour, to people we know (Snape) or have met (the Black 
sisters), then down to our POV character, Harry.  Like a spiral 
starting at the outer edges and working its way in.  Just my opinion.
