I was not following that thread, sorry, so I don't know what you guys 
were talking about. I suppose "my" meeting is same as Zara's though, 
because it is the only one in the book :-). As for the possibility 
that "he" is not Snape, I just don't know. Theoretically it's 
possible, of course, but it seems a bit of a stretch to me. 

Besides, even if DD has some other spy among DEs, I doubt that this 
spy will just show up at GP. Snape comes there and gives reports 
because he is a double agent. His both "masters" know that he must 
interact with the other side and give the other side some information 
(or desinformation). DD's "other spy" would be too precious to show 
to all the Order members, that would be a terrible risk for him, IMO. 
He would contact DD and DD alone, and not give reports to everybody, 
including Mungungus :-).

Well, you'll know then whom to ask questions next time, because I 
love OotP and read it often :-).
