Wouldn't it be more logical to assume that someone who works at the 
Ministry did it :-)? Arthur, for instance, or Kingsley, who was an 
Auror and worked together with Dawlish (even though he spent most of 
his time with Muggle prime-minister :-)). 

I wonder if poor Dawlish was Confunded only once, or several times? I 
mean, he was Confunded at the beginning of the book, and he was 
Confunded much later, when Dirk Cresswell escaped from him. There is 
even a chance that he was still Confunded at the end of the book, when 
Gran sent him to St.Mungo's (this is not to belittle her achievement, 
just a possibility :-)). 

Can a single charm work for so long? When Hermione Confunded McLaggen 
in HBP, he didn't act confused all year long :-).
