Michael:
...and why should she not wish to disfigure a horrid sneak? She did this
deliberately, knowing the consequences. This is life and death for
members... where they could be put in Azkaban prison for their actions.
She's the first one to realize this is not just a game, but it's real life.
She was always the smartest of them all.
I can't buy that H deliberately has harmed anyone. She is a genius, and that feeds her ego.
Where has she done harm? I'm trying to find references to disfiguring
others and so forth. On her side, she intercepted a member of a
different group and used a mirror... at her own detriment, to avoid
the baskilisk.
Her one "human" event was to knock the teeth out of a person who
called her mudblood... but if I recall that was only in the movie. The
books are a different reality from the movies.
