Potioncat:
My reaction was "Hagrid! Is that wise?" Then I thought, Oh, another 
plot arc coming full circle. Hagrid has been the one to transport 
Harry at crucial times. He took Baby Harry to Privet Drive, young 
Harry to Diagon Alley and now he transports Harry out of childhood.

What I think was strange was that each pair didn't have an escort. 
Moody seemed much more careful in OoP than he is now.

Potioncat:
I think Mundungus is Snape's informant. Snape finds out the date from 
Mundungus then Confunds him into suggesting 7 Potters. I'm not sure 
if Confundungus even knows he meets with Snape. I'm very sure he 
doesn't know he's given information.

Now, as far as that goes. I can better understand trusting Hagrid 
than I can Mundungus! Why he was ever involed in this mission is 
beyond me!
