I think your theory is brilliant! I really love it. I always thought
that there has to be a traitor and another spy in Hogwarts. I wondered
who could be it, but couldn't make your step.

When we don't think from a psychological point of view, but from a
writer's, it has to be someone important.  It wouldn't be fun to hear
Vector or Sinistra (or another minor character) is a traitor, that
wouldn't be interesting, it has to be someone we feel attached to. It cannot be a kid, because it has to go back to Godric Hollow-times.  Some of the characters with flaws and problems in the ww fell out too, it cannot be Lupin or Hagrid (the message: don't trust halfgiants and werewolfs (eg people with problems) would be a bit awkward and not typical for Rowling).  So there are only McGonagall, Flitwitch and Sprout left.

The shock of ESE!McGonagall would be the biggest.  Are there McGonagalls on the Black-family-tree? But perhapse we have to reread (once again!) the books to look for hints, than Rowling would have planned this surprise since the beginning.

right...
