>>And then yes, breaking the rules ( especially if they are done for
noble purposes, but even if it is not IMO), lying, cheating on
homework, etc, IMO is not considered a big deal.
I mean it is on the case by case basis, but yes I'd say that those
who are virtuous ( it is of course just my interpretation of JKR
intent, nothing more), especially courageous for "noble purposes" are
allowed to get away with
more in Potterverse than those who are not.<<<
Marion:
Lying, cheating on homework and sneaking of (under the guise of a Invisibility Cloak) to Hogsmead to buy chocolate frogs is permissable when you're 'fighting Dark Lords' (though how cheating on your homework or eating chocolate frogs helps you fighting Dark Lords beats me)
Rules are there for everybody, but they may be broken by someone with 'noble purposes'.
All wizards are equal, but some are more equal than others.
