Precisely. Also explains why he goes bonkers when he misses out on 
the Order of Merlin *again* in PoA. You've got to feel at least a 
little pity for the guy; I'm completely under the impression that he 
has done *so* much for Our Side, yet due to the necessary secrecy of 
his actions, he gets no recognition, and is mistrusted by plenty of 
people to boot, IMO.
