Ahhhh, yes....the first half of two and the "supposed" traitor is
revealed in the middle of the book :)  DH, in my humble opinion, will
be the revelation that the "supposed" traitor in HBP is not the
traitor and there actually is another (re: PoA - Sirius was the
"supposed" traitor until the end when it was revealed that it was
Peter all along!).  So, if JKR follows her normal style, which I have
no doubt she will, the revelation of the true traitor will come
forward and that is important to the plot.  As you stated, DH is the
2nd half of the a bigger book, and it will be stripping away the
misconceptions that Harry has in the first half(HBP)

IMO
