>>>There is not a shred of doubt that Marietta DID betray her classmates
to someone willing to engage in torture and murder, but you say that's
OK because she had all sorts of erroneous ideas in her head when she
did it. Well, when you're wrong you have to pay a price for it,
especially when you're as colossally wrong as Marietta was. And I'm
supposed to start blubbering about her acne? <<<


Dolores Umbridge:
There is not a shred of doubt that Harry Potter DID betray his government by claiming that He Who Cannot Be Named had returned and by training a secret (and possibly terrorist) army which taught its members how to fight trusted government employees, which is seditious, but you say that's OK because he had all sorts of erroneous ideas in his head when he did it. Well, when you're wrong you have to pay a price for it, especially when you're as colossally wrong as Harry Potter was. And I'm supposed to start blubbering about his scarred wrist?



Frodo:
I can't understand you. Do you mean to say that you, and the Elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds? Now at any rate he is as bad as an Orc, and just an enemy. He deserves death.

Gandalf:
Deserves it? I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.
