I was musing the other day about whether we might go to Azkaban in
OoP. If we did, we'd need a reason to go there, and that got me
thinking about which adult characters have broken the law and
committed serious offenses. JKR has set up a situation in which, in
addition to Black, a lot of adult characters have impressive rap
sheets and are candidates for Azkaban:
Dumbledore: aiding and abetting Black's escape; thwarting Buckbeak's
execution; encouraging breaking rules on time turner use; use of
Veritaserum; spreading word of Voldemort's return at MoM and Hogwarts
(which may break the Code of Wizarding Secrecy); maybe sending envoys
to the giants.
Snape: Provided the Veritaserum. Failed to blow the whistle on
Black.
McGonagal: Witnessed the Veritaserum. Also obtained the Time Turner
for a student, promising only to allow her to use it for her studies.
Molly, Arthur and Bill Weasley: Undermining Fudge at MoM with news of
Voldemort.
Lupin: Will soon be collaborating with Black again.
Percy: Suspected in Crouch's disappearance.
Hagrid: Illegal dragon breeding.
Charlie: Assisting in the transport of an illegal dragon.
