"Dantzel:
I think that on these lists, people are not always supported 'vocally' because
it's assumed that someone else will do it, but I also think that Marietta earned
her punishment. YES it's acne and YES it'll be psychologically damaging... hmm.
I think human beings are somewhat selfish, and that in such situations, if you
are trying to fight for a cause, you have to protect 'your own', and if someone
turns on you, you have a responsibility to the others and yourself to know who
it was and to know who you can trust.

Now, if Hermione had devised a spell that would chop the sneak's hand or tongue
off, that would be more serious."


Exactly; nobody ever died of acne.  And Marietta deserved to have something
nasty happen to her.  You don't rat out your friends.  It just is not done.
