I don’t get the sense that McGonnagal is unusually powerful or hard to Imperius, anyway. She’s just as much of a candidate as Flitwick.
However, since Hermione was terrified to see the (presumed) real face of H&C… The obvious solution seems ever more obvious. (And Eliezer’s last two Author’s Notes seemed to suggest it as well, but that is just my interpretation. I was wrong when I stated that he “practically confirmed it” earlier.)

OK, not as much as I seemed to imply. You’re right to call me on it (will edited parent comment).
I was thinking about the Author’s Notes for the last two chapters talking about how readers disregard the obvious interpretation, how sometimes when something’s clear enough there isn’t a twist waiting to be revealed, etc. For some reason when I wrote the comment above, my brain turned that (plus the confirmation of a Quirrel-Voldemort connection) into “confirmation of a Quirrel plot behind current events”. Sorry.

Where does Eliezer ‘practically’ confirm it?
