> Hey group, I know this is going to sound completely crazy but I reread parts of the OotP, and I kind of got to thinking that Umbridge sorta of helped Harry. The reason I say that is cause maybe she unknowingly got him ready for what was to come. I know I'm most likely going to take some heat over this but just thought I'd throw it out there. I'm in no way a fan of Umbridge but I'm just saying it made me think a little.

Bart:
     I've heard of con artists saying that they've done their victims a 
favor by making them more careful about their money in the future. Sort 
of the same thing.

     Or, as comedian Jackie Mason once said of Frank Sinatra, a mob 
connected singer he went afoul of: "Frank Sinatra once saved my life. He 
said, 'OK, boys, he's had enough!'"
