   Values? Where are the values on going against a group that should 
not be illegal, learing lessons that a normal teacher would have 
taught them... The group was deemed illegal because it was Harry 
Potter who did it, and because the ministry didn't want able 
children... There was no "right" that Marietta could see in it. In 
fact, we learn from who that she betrayed out of fear, and she 
chose students to be expelled over the fear of her mother who 
*could* have been sacked. And do I have to remind you that being 
expelled means no more magic for the whole person's life, meaning 
that, as they don't either have a muggle education, they are 
screwed? Marietta was selfish *and* egotistical. She knew and agreed 
that Umbridge went too far (or else Cho and her group came only 
because of Cho's crush on Harry)...
