Eggplant:
>>>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". <<<


Marion:
Yeah, you're so right! These hippy tree-huggers with their Human Rights and their 'civilised behaviour' crap! Don't these wimps understand it's a war our heroes are fighting? Soldiers for the Light are still soldiers. So what if they permanently marked a young girls as a 'snitch'? She was a traitor and on the wrong side: if you're not with us, you're against us and when you're against us you deserve everything our side can throw at you. Next they'll be telling us that soldiers should stop bombing civilian areas or that they shouldn't rape the local women. Hah! It's a WAR, numbskulls! 
Pinko punks with their 'International Court for War Crimes'! Good thing President Bush put the Patriot Act through. When those namby pamby softies dare to accuse an American soldier of a 'war crime', we'll nuke The Hague. And surroundings. That's teach them to critisize the Good Guys!
Hah! Human Rights, Geneva Conventions and Civilisation are for impotent wimps, not for tobacco-chewing, belly-scratching, chain-farting machos like us!

Marion, who hopes that the readers understand the word 'sarcasm'. 
Marion, who also happens to *live* in The Hague, and who got the shock of her life when she found out that a political ally of her country had officially stated (laid down in law, no less) that it would bomb her city and her country when the Internation Court for War Crimes, which resides in her city, would ever dare to *accuse* one US citizen of a war crime. Who thought this was a typical 'Bush-thing' and therefore temporarily, but who after reading some of the posts on this forum is getting very, very scared...
