Eddie:
It just occurred to me, Draco is the _ONLY_ one available to fix the
cabinet at Hogwarts.  No other DE (except Snape, see below) has access
to the cabinet at Hogwarts.

Re: Snape -- Voldemort doesn't completely trust Severus.  In the
graveyard scene in GoF, Voldemort says something like (missing books
at moment) "One of our number is missing, perhaps lost to me forever."

Eddie, who's sorry if he's very slow on the uptake and is stating what
is obvious to everyone else.
