I completely agree with you on this point.  IMO, the fact that battle 
lines are being drawn was made obvious by Fudge's reaction at the end 
of GoF when Harry revealed the names of those who are still 
maintaining their loyalty to Voldemort as DEs-but also maintaining 
their positions of authority in the MoM.  A line was drawn in the 
sand at this point by Dumbledore.  In the final 3 books, decisions 
will have to be made which side to choose.  The shifting of public 
opinion will definitely play a part in this-Cedric's death is 
probably going to have a longer lasting effect than we realize.  
There are those whose loyalties should not be questioned- but there 
are those who remain ambiguious-such as Percy -whose family is a 
staunch Dumbledore supporter- but he also has a loyalty to Fudge.  It 
will be interesting to see which way that particular ball bounces.  
JKR has warned us of the increasing darkness of the remaining books.  
The deteriation of Harry reputation plays right into this increase in 
darkness.
