I think that Fudge not supporting Dumbledore can go extremely far. One 
of my favorite points about the books is that good and evil and not as 
clear cut as anyone would like to think. 

Case in point - Snape. He's actually really good, but acts really 
evil. 

I think that the concept of someone being so blinded by their 
convictions that rules and order and whatever else Fudge values are 
good that their actions, no matter how well intentioned, end up aiding 
those working towards evil is fascinating.

I that Fudge's refusal to see the evil in his midst and refusing to do 
anything about it could do a lot to further the complicated 
relationship between right and wrong, good and evil.

I also see Percy Weasley falling into this trap. He screams of the 
type of person who could end up furthering Voldemort's cause 
completely unintentionaly, because he is so blinded by rules and order 
and what he desperately thinks is the right thing to do.

Anyone else see
