Line 65:
* [[Fantastic Four|Uatu, the Watcher]] is an observer sworn not to interfere in the affairs of Earth but [[Humans Are Special|there's just something about humans--]]
* This trope is pretty much the reason that [[Nick Fury]] made [[Secret War]] happen.
* ''[[Teen Titans]]'' villain Slade Deathstroke Wilson [[Start of Darkness]] that was the result of this. Trained under a [[Super Soldier]] program in the U.S. Army, Slade had a friend, a fellow soldier, who volunteered for a [[Suicide Mission]]. But the mission was botched, and the soldier was captured alive by the enemy. As per regulations regarding such things, the Army denied any knowledge of the captured soldier's existence, but deny it as they might, they could not hide what happened from Slade. After repeated attempts to convince his superiors to rescue his friend, or even negotiate for his release all fell on deaf ears, Slade defied orders and attempted a rescue on his own. While he succeeded, he was court-martialed and kicked out of the Army as a result. With little faith left in his own government, Slade became a mercenary and hired killer, and the rest as they say is history.

{{quote|"If Snape gets hold of the Stone, Voldemort's coming back! Haven't you heard what it was like when he was trying to take over? There won't be any Hogwarts to get expelled from! He'll flatten it, or [[Foreshadowing|turn it into a school for the Dark Arts]]! Losing points doesn't matter anymore, can't you see? D'you think he'll leave you and your families alone if Gryffindor wins the House Cup?"}}
** During the whole saga, Harry often breaks the rules to do what's right, to the extreme of {{spoiler|robbing a bank, as well as using Unforgiveable Curses,}} in ''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (novel)|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''.
*** Although his use of some of the Unforgiveables can be debatable.
*** The first time he tried one (Cruciatus Curse), he was in extreme rage because Bellatrix {{spoiler|killed Sirius}}. The second time (Imperius Curse), he uses it because it's crucial for him to defeat Voldemort. The third time (Cruciatus Curse again) is the only really questionable instance. Of course, what Amycus Carrow did was pretty despicable, but Harry could have just used ''Petrificus Totalus'' instead.
