"And isn't it interesting that Muggleborn Hermione Granger was being groomed right beside Harry Potter by the Headmaster and Minerva McGonagall to fight the boogeyman we call "You-Know-Who'? This isn't some fanciful tale of Good versus Evil, this is about two secretive factions who manipulated everyone to their own ends. The Knights of Walpurgis, better remembered as The Death Eaters, and the Order of the Phoenix. The self-righteousness of the Order's own name is cloying. It makes me wonder if Severus realized he was being manipulated all this time by both sides and killed Albus in an understandable attempt to be free from all of the cloak-and-dagger machinations of the Purebloods."
