Tonks:
I will add to that. In RL if you are called into court to testify 
you must tell what you know. You do not have a choice to go or not 
go or about what you will say. You must tell "the truth, the whole 
truth and nothing but the truth"  You might have to testify against 
someone you care for. It makes no difference. I don't see how anyone 
can even think that DD is to blame for anything by his giving 
testimony. I know the WW court system is not the same as ours, but 
still I am sure that DD was required to tell the truth. And DD told 
the truth as he knew it, just as anyone would have to do. There is 
just no logial way anyone can blame him for doing that.
