In CH 13 Mrs. Cattermole is one of the muggle-borns and as we know she is the wife of reg whom Hermione made sick and Ron impersonated him.

Is JKR saying here that as long as they tried to save the life of his wife, what was done to him is the means justifies the ends?

Is the fact that they tried to save his wife means that they were wrong, but now they are back to themselves?

What does it mean to you if it does not mean anything of the above?

"Umbridge held out a small hand: she looked so toad-like at that moment that Harry was quite surprised not to see webs between the stubby fingers" - p.215

Alla:

Oh Dolores, one sentence and I am already feeling disgusted with you. Boy I missed you sooo... NOT.


"Harry could still see the blond-haired youth's face, it was merry, wild; there was a Fred and George-ish air of triumphant trickery about him" - p.233

Alla:

Now, knowing that this youth is Grindelwald, it seems to me that by comparing his air of trickery with Fred and George's air of trickery, I think this is one of those moments when JKR is saying that their pranks are not always necessarily good things?

Again, maybe I am giving her too much credit or maybe not?

On the other hand, maybe it is the contrary thing, maybe the fact that young Grindelwald is portrayed as merry faced, maybe it shows that he is different from Tom dear? Maybe the fact that he is able to show the humor, to have fun, maybe that sort of foreshadows that he is able to feel remorse as well when he is old and in prizon? Am I making sense here?
