Just wanted to add and did not in the previous post that I think while both Snape and Sluggie were badly manipulated, the most obvious example of manipulation here is Mundungus. After all we did not hear from Snape that he would not have become a spy had Albus not insisted, so there is a possibility that he would have been, I guess.
Sluggie does object and as I said, I think he was badly manipulated, however in theory he could have refused and I am not sure if Dumbledore would have forced him to come by force. I mean, I am sure he would have come up with another devious plan, but at least it would have taken some time.
Mundungus tells it as it is, he **did not want** to die for Harry. He was forced to do so anyway.
As I said, I much prefer the heroes to cowards, but not everybody in RL gets to be brave and no, I do not believe that those who are not should be forced into fighting against their will.
JMO,
Alla
