Hiding a secret at CFUD for dummies.
This list is meant as a guide for Fruits Basket players to know how much or how little certain characters know about the curse. The explanations have been kept short and sweet to avoid a case of tl;dr, but if you have some hours to kill the links will take you to specific RPs, OOC discussions and longer explanations.

1. Characters with special powers.
1a. Count D (d_flower): would know the Sohmas are haunted by animal spirits, and already knows about Kisa's. More details here and here.
1b. Evangeline A.K. McDowell (bloodtwosugars): would sense something odd about the Sohmas.
1c. Hanajima Saki (wave_report): Picks up people's "waves" and knows the Sohmas she's met have "weird" waves, but ignores it as they've never been unkind to Tohru.
1d. Ishidaddy and Ishida (doctorquincy and ishidork): Quincy. They both can sense spiritual energy, but have enough angst of their own to worry about other people's.
1e. Schuldig (blowyamindgame): is telepathic, and has trouble keeping other people's thoughts out. Would know all about the curse and related traumas, if he doesn't already.
2. Characters with connections to Sohmas. These characters's powers wouldn't tell them anything about the curse, but (prolonged or not) contact with a Sohma has allowed them to notice or know a few things.
2a. Elphaba (green_as_sin): Could be considered a friend of Hiro's. Is suspicious after Hiro summoned some sheep.
2b. Heather Morris (fromthelostdays): Thinks that Hiro doesn't like to be touched. Thinks the Sohmas are a family of animal lovers, due to their usernames.
2c. Tom Riddle (riddle_death): Knows that Ayame is a Parseltongue and thinks that he might be an Animagus. For people who haven't read Harry Potter, first, I admire your will power, and second, an Animagus is a wizard who can turn into an animal and back to wizard again.
2d. Tsukiyono Omi (on_target): Has some nebulous ideas, but making out with Hatsuharu has proven to be quite distracting.
3. The detectives: L, Mello and Near (justice_pie, dial_m_4_murder and n_is_for). No powers, just nosy.
Mello knows the Sohmas are paranoid about something that's related to the Chinese Zodiac somehow (guesses they might use Zodiac-related codenames).
L knows there's certainly a secret. He also falls on the prolonged contact with a Sohma section: had something of a friendship with Shigure.
Near knows the Sohmas transform into animals. Kyou transformed into a cat when a genderswitched Near fell on top of him, and had a cat-related username. Logic says the other Sohmas would turn into the animals of their usernames.
4. Sanzo (monkwithgun): Knows there's a curse thanks to a spell Sumeragi Hokuto performed on Kyou and seeing Hatsuharu turn into Cow, he knows it binds more people than those actually at camp, that it has a Zodiac connection and that they're frightened about it being out. Has a Maten Sutra (hee hee, I said Sutra) that can lift curses, but if he won't try it since the curse extends beyond camp. More details here.
5. Winry (mechaholic): knows that the Sohma family has a curse related to the Chinese Zodiac, that there are the twelve animals, the cat and the god. Has seen Hiro, Hatsuharu and Yuki transform. Most importantly, she saw and talked with the boggart in the shape of Akito. (More in my Memories section.)
