> Carol responds:
> But what could Hermione have told her parents about Harry that Voldemort didn't already know, either because it was common knowledge in the WW or because Wormtail or Snape giving what seemed to be valuable information or Bellatrix after the MoM had already told him or from his own experience with Harry?
> 
> Voldemort would know who Harry's best friends were, what his magical skills and weaknesses were, that he used Expelliarmus a lot, that he was good at Quidditch and played Seeker. He would know, as the Grangers probably didn't, that Harry's Patronus was a stag. About the only information that the Grangers might have been able to provide that LV didn't already know was that he loved Ginny.
> 
> But the DEs and LV wouldn't care about any of this. All they would want to know was Harry's whereabouts (which they discover twice through his use of the name Voldemort). No need to torture the Grangers for outdated and useless information.

Alla:
I do not think that we need to come up with every possible detail as to what exactly Hermione told them about Harry that may help Voldemort to catch them. I think that the umbrella of **told them a lot about Harry** covers a lot of things that we may not even guess that Voldemort will use against them.

Anything, any detail, any small fact can give DE a clue how to catch them IMO. And they will not care about Harry loving Ginny? Same as Voldemort did not care to use Sirius against Harry?

I think it will be perfect idea for them to use Ginny as a bait, IMO of course. But again, I do not think the list of what she told them is needed, as long as we know that she told them a lot, that to me **already** a reason to say that yes, her parents can be used against her and Harry.

Just as I think that DE having trouble finding  and using Muggle camera to fake Hermione's kidnapping is not a reason to discard the possibility that they will do so. We know that Voldemort was very resourceful in the first war to put discord and enmity to murder people (even if we did not see much of such resourcefulness lol). I think that it is very very possible that DE will figure out to use muggle camera, because what they have to do with it is so important for them.

It is as if somebody would tell me that if I would be given a chance to visit a bookstore and would be given a great book for free, but to get this book I will have to learn how to, I don't know, knit. Trust me, I will do my best to learn, it is not rocket science. I would think to get Harry DE would learn how to use muggle camera if needed.

JMO,
