"But what I was arguing in my previous post was that according to DD 
himself (COS), it was his loyalty to DD that saved Harry, through the
intervention of Fawkes. To me, this suggests that JKR presents loyalty
to DD as some kind of standard by which to judge the various
characters' actions, a kind of moral compass. If this is the case, it
can't be disproved by the fact that characters don't give him their
absolute trust."

Del replies:
Hm, interesting concept! With interesting consequences too :
considering Snape's apparent loyalty to DD, does this moral compass
make Snape at least as good morally as Harry ;-) ?

But unfortunately, JKR has in no way convinced me to swap this moral
compass for the one I use habitually, so I won't do it :-)
