Pippin:
My question would be, if bribery and threats will really persuade 
an unwilling person, why wasn't Harry doing exactly as the 
Dursleys wished? Why wasn't Hogwarts completely controlled by 
Umbridge?


Alla:

Pippin, who said anything that bribery will definitely persuade 
Dursleys? Not me. :o)

I was just agreeing with Lupinlore's suggestion as one of the 
POSSIBILITIES. What I was taking a strong exception to is Tonk's 
suggestion that bribery IN THIS CONTEXT ( and of course only in 
fictional context) will always be immoral and illegal thing to do.

Am I confusing? I am just saying that IF Dumbledore knew FOR SURE  
that bribery would work to ease Harry's life, he should have used it 
without hesitation.


Just my opinion,

Alla
