They do if they're Kneasy.

Not that I think the Gryffs are ESE particularly, but one could
always be coerced into doing the dirty. Peter was a Gryff,
wasn't he? There you are then.

No; if Voldy were to take my advice then he wouldn't wait for a 
walk-in traitor, deary me, no. He'd be a bit more pro-active.
Have a sniff around Harry's friends - see if any of them are
vulnerable, see if they have weak spots where pressure can be 
applied.

Families, loved ones, that sort of thing.
What would Ron do to keep his family alive?
Who rates higher  -  Harry or his mother?
What would Neville do to keep his parents safe?
Or perhaps a not-so-subtle bribe.
Would Hermione co-operate with a seemingly friendly stranger
if she were told that what she did would ensure Elf freedom?

That's the trouble with Voldy: I don't think he's read Machiavelli.

"Father, father - how can you be so cruel?"
"Practice, m'dear, practice."
