Potioncat:
The very first thing we see in DH is Yaxley and Snape bringing 
information to LV about the plans for Potter. They are competing for 
LV's favor. Snape, currently the top dog, is placed to LV's right while 
Yaxly is given a spot toward the end of the table.

What do you think would have happened if Yaxley's information had been 
more accurate than Snape's?....We would have had Headmaster Yaxley, or 
Headmaster Carrow, and Snape, if he were lucky, would have been helping 
Umbridge with the Muggleborn trials.

BYW, when is the last time we ever see Yaxley? Does anyone remember?
