I took the timing to be after Snape became HeadMaster.  I thought the 
scene took place with DD's portrait.  As for how the portrait knew- 
easy.  The people in portraits are able to move between their 
portraits, so someone had a portrait of DD when the move was being 
discussed.  Also- might still have something to do with Chocolate 
Frog cards- they seemed very important to DD.
