McGonagall?

Pippin:
Dumbledore knew there was a spy close to him. It appears that
at the time of Godric's Hollow, McGonagall was not yet a registered
Animagus (otherwise she would expect Dumbledore to be familiar 
with her markings.) Clearly she is capable of keeping things from
him. So despite her apparent devotion to Dumbledore and all
things Gryffindor, there was an outside chance that she was
the spy, or an accomplice of the spy, especially given that she  was
probably a schoolmate of Riddle's.
