In the most recent chapter discussion post there was a question about 
adult support in Harry's life.  It occurred to me as I was reading 
that Fake Moody in GOF is more supportive of Harry than real Moody in 
OOtP; granted it was for his own purposes, but is JKR trying to tell 
us that the DEs can be used to Harry's advantage?
fake Moody: helps Harry in his tri-wizards tasks, turns Malfoy into a 
ferret, gives Harry advice
real Moody: shows Harry a picture of his parents that makes him more 
upset, threatens the people whose hospitality keeps him safe(not 
sticking up for the Dursleys, just identifying possible problems), 
isn't around to help Harry when he needs it, makes Harry think he 
might be possessed by LV.  I might have missed some.
This concerns me about the loyalty of the Order.  Is Harry really 
just a weapon to them?  Do any of them truly care about Harry or is 
he a means to an end the same way being a DE is for Lucius?

Lady McBeth, concerned that Kneasy is the Half Blood Prince and just 
isn't telling us
