Fudge clearly holds some of the same beliefs as the death eaters, 
regarding muggles and half-bloods.  Is he a death eater, or does he 
at least simpathize with them?  Or is he just so power-hungry that he 
will side with whichever side e thinks is most strong?"


SnapesRaven:
I have to add a thought on this...
Speaking of Death Eaters... Isn't Fudge talking to- and taking money from- no other than Lucius *the Death Eater* Malfoy at the MOM in OOTP?
- My guess is that Fudge at least sympathizes with the DE's, even though his official task is to... well, what is it, after all? To protect the wizarding world (from evil, harm, Voldemort?)? To establish a working system (no matter of which kind??!?) featuring rules, laws and so on...? 
I think he wants to gain - and hold his - power, mark his reaction to 'Dumbledore's Army' in OOTP... Normally, I'd think he and Dumbledore work together... but with the power-hungry (another trait many DE's obviously have) Fudge this is unthinkable.
