There are an awful lot of things to sort through, for certain. First of all, whether she's just acting on rumour or hope, or if she knows something more solid. I don't suppose she gave any specifics about what she knows and how, did she? I mean, there are rumours enough going round, and that might be where she got the idea from, but if Lucius Malfoy does know something we don't and that's where she got it from, that's worrisome.
And second, I'm sorry to hear she is having trouble moving on from Regulus's death, but it's not surprising -- his body was never found, so there was little resolution on the matter, and I can see how she'd make the connection.
I don't think your cover is worth her peace of mind. It really is the most valuable thing you have going for you right now, and the longer you are able to hold onto it, the better. The letter to Terrie Spinnet is different of course, because that door has already been opened.
I don't suppose you've gotten any other letters? I can honestly say I'm surprised that someone else hasn't tried it out on a whim until now. I'd also check any owls you receive for tracking charms, just in case.
