I agree. This reminds me of the theories that were going around
about Percy!Evil and Rita Skeeter!Evil. I don't think Skeeter is in
league with Voldemort. But I do think she is able to be pretty
destructive in her own petty way. I don't think Percy is evil, but
he has some character flaws that my expose his family and friends to
harm in the future. Another example: Barty Crouch, Sr. He was
working for the good side, right? But he became pretty unethical.
He obviously wasn't a DE, but he wasn't exactly perfect, either.
This is why we all love Rowling: she writes characters with real
human weakness. Even the heroes have weaknesses. She examines these
so well, we learn about our own weaknesses while we read, and being
aware helps us want to correct them.
Back to Fudge, Percy, and Skeeter: There's a quote toward the end of
LOTR, where Gandalf says he fears that Saruman may still cause
trouble in a small way (sorry for the paraphrase). This of course he
does, in the Shire. So my point is, I don't think these people will
necessarily work for Voldie, but they may aid him unknowingly. Or
they may simply cause unrelated mischief.
Me:
I agree. We have an old saying in Spain that goes: "donde hay un tonto hay un peligro" that means more or less "where there is a stupid person, there's danger". I think Voldemort is smart enough to take advantage of that kind of people. We know Bagman helped him without knowing, Crouch is in denial, he's very dangerous and he's not a very smart person, so he can very easyly be manipulated, so is Percy, sorry but it's true, so are many other people we don't know yet.
