I may be biased, but I would think that once you have changed sides, 
friends on the other side are enemies, as the two sides are waging a 
war. Then it doesn't matter whether you are on the good side or on 
the bad side, since in both cases your erstwhile friends are going 
to die. Of course, you may have to weigh in the factor that being on 
the good side actually saves a lot of people from being killed in 
the long run.

Umbridge happened only to hogwarts. Rita Skeeter happened to Harry. 
Gilderoy Lockhart was not "bad". The post specifically mentions the 
WW, which means everyone is in danger.
