Everyone seems to think that Fudge is just naive but I think he is a 
LV supporter if not a DE.  Around the same passage quoted above, DD 
accuses Fudge of "putting too much importance on purity of blood". 
Things that bother me about Fudge:
1) Puts the blame on Sirius for the Potter's, and Wormtails supposed 
death without a trial or asking for an explanation.
2)The deatheaters in POA
3)The dementors kiss on Barty jr without taking the opportunity to 
question him.
4)The whole parting of the ways.
5)His continuing reluctance to believe LV is back at the end of OOP. 
He didn't exactly go Oh MY God you were right all along DD, he 
reacted begrudgingly to it.
6)He thinks so highly of Lucious Malfoy. Yes I know Lucious gives 
money but giving money isnt that big a deal for someone who has 
alot.  
I realize that this is out there but I just dont believe he is that 
naive. I also believe Ludo Bagman is a DE.....Wimbourn Wasp...Wasp 
buzzing around in GOF and OOP.....
