Tonks:
Sorry, that doesn't make any sense. Diagon Alley is in London. Once 
the students are at school the only place they can go is Hogsmead. I 
don't think that Draco would be apperating around and not sure you 
can apparate from just outside the gates all the way to Diagon Alley 
anyway. And it is night. I assume that Diagon Alley is not open at 
night.

Pippin does present an interest thought. Did Draco stay in the room 
and if so is there a spy in the Order?  I hope it isn't McGonagall. 
Did Snape know that DD was leaving? I have to go back and listen to 
the book again. It is so hard to remember all of the details over 
time.
