The Stool Pigeon: Difference between revisions

* The''[[Harry bookPotter versionand the Order of [[the Phoenix (novel)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'' has Marietta Edgecombe snitch on Dumbledore's Army instead of Cho Chang. She's portrayed as a Betrayer Barry, but her reasons are partially sympathetic; her mother worked for the ministry, and she was being pressured into disbelieving Harry and following Umbridge's rules. Harry and co take no sympathy for her, however, and she's left with permanent facial scarring when HermoineHermione hexed the club list - she ends up with the word "Snitch" written across her face in boils.

** Mr. Monk and the Dentist had an odd variation of the Lacerated Larry type from the murder [[Asshole Victim|"victim"]] of the week: The victim (an ex-cop who went renegade and started robbing armored trucks) ended up having to go to the dentist for a chipped tooth that he got in a scuffle with one of the armored truck drivers during a heist (he was technically a cop, so he was on their dental plan). While going through the routine anasthasiaanesthesia, the ex-cop, evidentially under the anesthesia's influence, blabbed to the dentists working on him about the heist as well as the hiding place for the money, to which the dentists stole the money. Unfortunately, he, either from lingering memories of what happened, or put two-and-two together about what happened, found out about their robbing his ill-gotten bearer bonds and confronted him, leading to his death at the hands of the dentists. The dentists later attempted to have Monk tortured at the Dentist's office, although they weren't able to get much out of him before they ended up arrested by Disher and Stottlemeyer (the former of whom spent most of the episode as a [[Cassandra Truth]] witness to the aforementioned murder while he himself was under anasthasiaanesthesia).
