Zara:
I certainly don't. The proximate causes of Reg and Sev's issues with 
Voldemort were serious harm (or the threat thereof) to someone they 
cared about. One day Reg was proud and honored to loan the Dark Lord a 
House Elf, and the next he was plotting his revenge. Sev also gave his 
life in aid of the anti-Voldemort cause, it just took 16-17 years for 
it to happen. But from the time he became Albus's spy, it might have 
happened at any time.
