As I recall one of the death eaters mentioned that he believed you to be a Weasley and that they should kill you. I forget which though.
Yeah, people were all 'are you two REALLY buddies why would he tell you' so I just said 'he was being stupid I do not know why he would do it' and they were skeptical but still ran with it.
And, the Ministry PMed me about Zepyhrman being a very prominent role, and that we should trust them about it, and that if he dies we'll be in a very good position. We had no idea he was lying, so we just followed along. We thought he might be the bodyguard or the inspector, and it turned out that he was the inspector indeed..
