> "But I've told you, I had no idea!"  Bagman called earnestly over 
the crowd's babble, his round blue eyes widening.  "None at all! Old 
Rookwood was a friend of my dad's . . . never crossed my mind he was 
in with You-Know-Who!  I thought I was collecting information for our 
side!  And Rookwood kept talking about getting me a job in the 
Ministry later on ... " (GoF)

> Where was he collecting information from? Or more precisely, from 
whom??? And when did he became so important and clever to gather 
information? What am I missing here? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Aggie:
I'd assumed that he was gathering info from Rookwood, hence him 
bringing Rookwood's name into it but that can't be right can it? 
Bagman is passing the info ONTO Rookwood! D'oh!  It is a very good 
question!  WHY was he collecting information?  And who was he 
collecting it for (other than Rookwood)? This is very bizarre! 

Another thought that you gave me was, if Bagman was cooperating with 
R'wood because of the promise of a job in the Ministry and Rookwood 
ended up in Azkaban, who gave Bagman the job?  And why?  At his 
trial, most people in the stands liked him because of his Quidditch 
abilities but those in power seemed to treat him with contempt.  I'm 
sure I've missed something important but no doubt it'll get pointed 
out to me in due course!!!  ;o))
