It was to help capture anybody who was talking about Lord Voldemort, mainly Harry Potter as they knew he always spoke him name rather than call him You-Know-Who.

Why are the characters scared to say Voldemorts name?

In Harry Potter saying Voldermort is said to bring very bad luck, or worse. Tom Riddle, better known as Voldemort, The Dark Lord, You Know Who, or He Who Must Not Be Named, is not called his 'real' name because he was very evil and many were afraid that He, or his followers, would be able to hear them if they called him that, and then He might think that they were being 'disrespectful' to him, and decide to go after him. He was terrifying, and they didn't want to say his name in case in doing so He would return.

How did the main characters change in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Hermione proved to herself (and others) that she is quick to think, and comes up with great magic when under pressure. Examples-using a stinging hex on Harry when they are caught by snatchers so that they do not recognize him; allowing Death Eaters to see the trio right before apparating while they are in Mr. Lovegood's home, so that they do not torture Xenophilius; telling Bellatrix Lestrange that the sword of Gryffindor is fake while Bellatrix is torturing her. Harry eventually realizes that Dumbledore was leading him on the right path all along, and that he shouldn't act or speak before thinking, as he almost gets them in trouble several times. Examples-saying Voldemort's name even though it is taboo, with the result that they are captured by snatchers; he became excited when he learned about the Deathly Hallows, thinking that he may have 2 of the Hallows. He believed for a little while that it may be Hallows vs. Horcruxes to defeat Voldemort. In time he realizes that Dumbledore was right all along, and he should destroy Horcruxes and forget about the Hallows. Ron becomes aware of his feelings for Hermione even more, and that he has the tendency to make wrong decisions, but almost immediately redeems himself. Examples-he became irritable after camping, with them not having any luck of finding horcruxes, or ways of destroying them. He decides to desert Harry and Hermione, but regrets his decision immediately, and attempts to return to them. It's also hinted throughout the book that he is becoming more and more advanced in his magical abilities, though he denies it somewhat. Examples-he saves Harry from drowning, retrieves the sword of Gryffindor and destroys a Horcrux. He thinks of the idea to enter the Chamber of Secrets to get some basilisk fangs in order to destroy horcruxes. All 3 of them become much braver throught the novel, and realize their talents.
