Line 84:
* In the words of {{spoiler|the fake}} Mad-Eye Moody in the fourth ''[[Harry Potter]]'' book,
{{quote|Decent people are so easy to manipulate.}}
** {{spoiler|Ginny Weasley}} in ''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'', though she eventually became suspicious and {{spoiler|tried unsuccessfully to destroy the diary.}}
** Harry Potter himself in ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (novel)|Order of the Phoenix]]'', when Voldemort tricks him into {{spoiler|going to the Department of Mysteries}}. Especially notable given that he told Snape (who at this point he believed loyal to Dumbledore) that he'd {{spoiler|had a vision of Sirius in danger there}}, [[Idiot Ball|and still rushes in to do the Dark Lord's dirty work for him]].
** This hits Harry ''hard'' in books 4 and 5. Given how badly these stories ended for everyone, the best thing Harry could have done was ''nothing''.
** Ultimately, {{spoiler|almost every major character in the series is revealed to be one to some extent, pawns for Dumbledore and Voldemort, both of whose decades long game of wits to destroy the other is revealed to be what the whole series revolves around. Even Harry himself is a piece in the game. Snape on the other hand is a willing pawn for Dumbledore}}.
