Carol responds:
I more or less agree with this list (except for Harry, who as the heor
will do the right thing, whatever it is, at the end of Book 7). Sirius
is dead so it doesn't really matter if he could be trusted; Lockhart I
don't think we'll see again (didn't JKR indicate as much in the World
Book Day chat?); Bagman I think is weak and stupid but not evil--he
could, however, be used as an unwitting dupe again; Fudge is iffy, but
if he blames Dumbledore for his fall from power, things could get nasty.
What about the other Weasleys, Kneasy? I would add the Twins to the
"trust" list, with poor Percy as a "maybe," though I think he'll come
around eventually, perhaps after losing a family member. And probably
Bill and Charlie are good guys as well, with Bill slightly iffier than
Charlie.
