Betsy Hp:
You prove my point. Why do we know Voldemort is bad? Well, look at
his *actions*. Until HBP Draco doesn't have any actions to look at
because Voldemort is taking a time out. But he can take a look at
the actions of Harry and his friends. And there ain't nothing there
pointing a big neon sign saying "these are the good guys".
Generally, if you've branded someone's face, or tortured someone
significantly weaker than you, you're not wearing a white hat.
