       This is a very good point. Marietta attended the meetings regularly, 
learned all she could, THEN turned them in. I still want to know just why. We 
never see her pov, we don't know why she did it, or what she thought would 
happen. Please note, she didn't seem to have warned he best friend Cho. Cho was 
one of the attendees who were nearly caught by Umbridge and the IS. I certainly 
don't quite compare her actions to Wormtail's but I would definitely have 
dropped the friendship, were I involved.
