Carodave:
I don't remember Mundungus wearing a dress or disguise in HBP (not 
to say it didn't happen!).  I was referring to the first DA meeting 
at the Hogs Head in OotP, when HRH sees the witch in the Hogs Head.  
Sirius tells them later (with his head in the Gryffindor fire) that 
the witch was Mundungus.  He says that Mundungus was barred from the 
Hogs Head 20 years ago and the barman has a long memory.  Since 
Moody's spare invisibility cloak was taken when Sturgis was 
arrested, Dung needs to wear the disguise in order to keep an eye on 
Harry in the pub.

So if I understand correctly, and Dung is there keeping watch over 
Harry, how did he know that Harry would be in the Hogs Head that 
day?  It was a secret meeting, relatively, and no one from the order 
was told.  Dung was already there when HRH arrived.  Hmmm...maybe 
Flitwick informed the Order that Hermione was asking about the Hogs 
Head?  It's not a huge leap to figure that Hermione will be 
accompanied by Harry and Ron...

Carodave, who wants to know if others wonder about this,,
