Now that You-Know-Who was back-stabbed by his own followers, we are all expected to be grateful to the former brains of the supposed "Golden Trio', sidekick of "The Chosen One'. (For more, see my article "Harry Potter: Disturbed and Dangerous!" Daily Prophet, 1994, and "The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore', in bookstores now.) I know that I was quite concerned seeing that manipulative little girl flanked by Narcissa and Draco as they cut down an admittedly bad man. But would I, Rita Skeeter, just parrot whatever story she would convince the Minister to disseminate? Of course not, dear reader.
