AJT:
I'm sorry but did you all forget that the Death Eaters infiltrated
the Ministry? Didn't Mad Eye say that you don't know who's who and
who to trust? Thicknesse has been IMP and their main goal here is
to catch Harry and turn him over to Tom.(p.46DH)
Anywho, Dumbledore has to play the game how it's coming also.
Remember besides Snape's outside information the Dark Lord was
getting Yaxley's and others in the Ministry's info too.
Dumbledore has to keep Snape on good terms with Tom and the DE's.
(p.688DH)
