MikeyRPh sighs again:

I have come to the conclusion after reading many of these posts that only I and JKR have ever read any spy novels/stories, particularly ones involving the lives of double agents (guess who).

Double agents (DA's) are hated by ALL on BOTH sides!
DA's aren't wholly trusted by ANYone!
Despite contributions which often make the KEY difference in a 'war' they usually die vilified and without public recognition of their true roles. (Public recognition is, for most people, the one thing that keeps us moving ahead in spite of adversity.  DA's are denied this utterly during their professional lives. Try to imagine how that must feel).

The risks to which they are exposed are FAR more serious than the
risk to any 'armed combatant'.

They must always be more intelligent than (or at least as intelligent as) everyone else with whom they deal (they have to remember everyTHING they've told to everyONE at ALL times to avoid capture).

(Not counting Hermione:) there are 2 true geniuses among JKR's main characters.  ONE of them is Albus Dumbledore, loved and mourned by most of the WW. The OTHER is a double agent.

If his death is typical, it SHOULD be something to cry over.

So THERE!! :-).............mikey
