>>>All in all, I think the Foe Glass episode says more  about the 
unreliable nature of the Foe Glass (and perhaps all similar  
magical "indicators"mag<<<

Marion:
But if foe  glasses only reflect your own preconcieved and prejudiced 
notions, if they are  so unreliable, why have a foe glass at all? They will tell you 
nothing you don't  already believe to be the truth. 
Nikkalmati: 
It seems to me that most magical objects are spelled to tell  the truth, i.e. 
Mirror of Eresed, sneakascope.  What good is a Foe Glass  that just reflects 
your own ideas of who is your enemy?   I agree that  the Foe Glass shows those 
who mean to do you harm, not those whom you  fear.  If Snape had not been an 
enemy of Barry Jr., he would not have  appeared in the mirror (kind of like a 
vampire can't be seen in a mirror),  regardless of whether Barry Jr. liked him 
or whether LV thought he was  faithful.  The mirror was telling us that he 
was no friend of  Barry's.  Harry may be discounting the mirror so that he does 
not have to  believe in it.
