Tonks:
Let me explain myself a little better. I am talking about the type 
of betrayal that Judas did to Jesus.  Many modern religious scholars 
think that Judas did what he did for what he thought was the right 
reason. He thought that calling in the guards to come and get Jesus 
would cause Jesus to start the revolution.  But Judas was wrong. He 
misunderstood the message.  He was not on the side of the enemy; he 
was still on the side of Jesus.  But most people when they hear the 
name of Judas think of him as the betrayer of Jesus.  They think of 
Judas as the one who hastened the death of Jesus.  And he did, but 
that was not his intent. 

This whole plot is what I think we will see played out in the end 
days of the HP books.  So when I say that Ron will betray Harry, for 
what he thinks is the right reason, this is what I am referring to.  
Perhaps I should say Ron will do something that *looks* like a 
betrayal and Harry will think that it is, and it will bring Harry 
closer to his death.
