You can give people clues, but hide them as just strange or part of their character. For example, Barty Crouch Jr. (GoF spoiler)

drinks from a hip flask all the time, and keeps trying to help Harry with the Triwizard Tournament. The hip flask turns out to be Polyjuice Potion, and he is trying to make Harry win so he touches the cup first and gets sent to Voldemort.

These actions are explained as part of the character's paranoia and his caring nature. In the end, though, we realize that they are not part of his true nature, but rather part of his disguise/plot. When the character is revealed, the clues fall into place.
