Don't be astonished, it's just the way things are in the Potter
community. For some reason people love to write posts explaining why
the good guys are really bad and the bad guys are really good. Even
today some have still not forgiven Harry for raising his voice at his
friends a few times in book 5, but they instantly forgave Snape for
murdering Dumbledore in book 6. Go figure.

As for Marietta, well, if she were part of the resistance in occupied
France and fellow members discovered she had betrayed some of her
comrades to the Nazis I suspect they'd do more than give her acne. If
the good guys behaved as some seem to think they should they would be
a bunch of effete impotent wimps unworthy of the word "Hero".
