So, I was thinking about who else has been at
Hogwarts the whole year and Rita Skeeter has. 
Dumbledore makes a point of saying that Voldemort
is good at causing enmity and what better way
than through the media?  Rita went out of her way
to write divisive articles all year, especially
about Harry and his friends, the very ones who
could arguably rally the community against
Voldemort.


Me:
I don't think so. Rita surely is evil, but I don't
think she is a DE. Being evil does not mean that
someone is with Voldemort.

I tend to think of Rita as some other kind of evil,
nobody's ally. She's like Peeves. In the (Hogwarts)
castle, it's a constant battle between the students
(making the castle dirty, unintentionally, I'm sure
<g>) and Filch (keeping it clean). Peeves is Filch
enemy, but he's not exactly on students' side either.
He annoyed both sides. Of course, he's a poltergeist,
that's his 'responsibility'.

But the point is, Rita can be evil without being
Voldemort's servant. I don't imagine she will write a
lot of bad stuff about Voldemort or his DE, not if she
wants to live a long life anyway! But who knows...she
seems determined to see the bad side in everyone!

Also, in GoF, when she said to Hermione, "I know
things about Bagman that will make your hair curls"
(not exact quote, haven't got the book with me at the
moment), it sounds like she thinks that Bagman is bad.
Doesn't sound like the thing she would say if she's a
DE...
