Geoff:
There is also the possibility that he got it the same way as the idea of poisoning the mead - 
he overheard Hermione talking about it. He does say he got the idea from "them", rather than 
Marietta whom I think he might have named since he seems to be happy to release 
information to perhaps try to upset Dumbledore before trying to kill him.
