Potioncat:
Actually, there are 3 trios. The Marauders, the trio and Ginny-Luna-
Neville. Am I correct that JKR never refers to HRH as the trio? We 
only get to hear a little about the youngest set, but I would have 
liked to have seen more.

Potioncat:
Your post was very interesting. I never thought about the possibility 
that Snape closed the tunnels. Good one! And I agree with your list 
of things you'd like to read about in that missing chapter/book. I 
think, based on canon, that Snape had assigned the teachers to patrol 
the halls to catch any kids out of their dorms. He knew of course the 
teachers wouldn't report any of them to the Carrows.

Potioncat:
Who first wrote "He knew of course the teachers wouldn't turn any of 
the students into the Carrows" but thought that sounded like a severe 
form of punishment by transfiguration.
