Alla:

According to the moral rules? Like it is wrong to betray your 
friends? Your answer will probably be about relativity of morals, 
but I strongly disagree with that, as you probably know by now. :o)


I would agree that Cho should not have forced her to come, if she 
did not want to stay, but when she made such choice, she should have 
followed through. As all other members of the DA did. 

Was there anything "illegal" with what she did? Of course not. It 
was her right to betray her friends, but then she absolutely 
deserved what she got at the end, IMO.

I had a tiniest twinge of sympathy for her, when Kingsley so 
shamelesly modified her memory, but such sympathy dissappeared fast.


She was obeying the law? Well, any law put into place by professor 
Umbridge deserved to be sabotaged, IMO.
