The theory posits that Ron became radicalized from a young age, clinging to Harry when the pair first attended Hogwarts. Depending on the Second Wizarding War's outcome, Ron would have been in a win-win situation based on his secret identity as a Death Eater.
If Ron died, well it would be Hermione being devastated and Harry would of course help his friend mourn him while doing so as well. Then they would honor his memory and go on to destroy the Horcruxes as they were meant to.
Well, in Umbridge's case, while she may have been working for the bad guys of bureaucracy, she was never under Voldemort's thumb. She was allied with the Death Eaters and definitely enabled them, she was never an official part of the organization.
Peter Pettigrew (a.k.a. Wormtail) is one of two Death Eaters known to have been in a House other than Slytherin (Gryffindor) while at Hogwarts. There, he was a close friend of Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin, although he was the least intelligent and least talented of the group.
What if Ron died in a battle against Death Eaters?
Who is the evilest Gryffindor?
1 Peter Pettigrew
If it wasn't for Peter, Voldemort would have remained a shade for the rest of his days, sparing the Wizarding World a second war. Although Peter is not "the dark lord" himself, he drives home the point that evil would be nothing without its supporters, making Pettigrew as bad as it gets.
Was Umbridge a terrible person because of the Horcrux?
Despite this, some feel that her extreme cruelty in Deathly Hallows was given to the influence of Slytherin's Locket as a Horcrux, but J.K. Rowling has affirmed that this isn't the case and that the Locket couldn't worsen Umbridge as she was already such a horrible person.
She showed a particular hatred for Harry Potter, as she had no qualms about violently punishing Harry during detentions (though it is possible Fudge told her to be harsh on him).
Apparently, Umbridge's mother was a Muggle and her brother was a Squib – a source of huge embarrassment for the family. Perhaps their abandonment and retreat back into the Muggle world had such a huge impact on Umbridge that it became the catalyst for her Muggleborn-targeted cruelty later on in life.
Of all of the Death Eaters that appear in Harry Potter, there's no doubt that Bellatrix is the most evil. In addition to the fact that she was selflessly devoted to Voldemort and his mission (in fact, she was obsessed with him), she also showed that there was no depth of cruelty or malice to which she would not sink.
He didn't want to be a Death Eater, once he realized what being a Death Eater truly meant. He didn't want to be on Voldemort's side, once he came to truly understand what Voldemort stood for. I don't think Draco was inherently a bad person.
By Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it's a stretch to call Draco a villain anymore. We just watched — or read — him struggle to reconcile his choices and morals in The Half-Blood Prince. He can no longer justify his actions, and is far more aware of the evil he was born and raised into.
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Ron Weasley casts a green spell in an attempt to kill Voldemort's snake Nagini (one of his Horcruxes).
It is unknown how Ron reacted when Lavender was killed by Fenrir Greyback, although when he saw her being savaged, Ron was clearly horrified and concerned but Hermione beat him to saving Lavender. Considering this, it is likely Ron at least was saddened by her death.
But Ron Weasley is the exception, giving it a go in the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 movie when himself and Hermione look destined to die via Nagini. The curse just seems to go through Nagini like it's nothing whatsoever.
She was sorted into Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and hated her time at the school due to never being given any positions of power. After her time at Hogwarts, Umbridge rose to prominent and influential positions in the Ministry of Magic in the Improper Use of Magic Office.
Why did Harry's scar hurt when Umbridge touched him?
J. K. Rowling stated that the pain from Harry's scar on his forehead was caused by the piece of Voldemort's soul trying to leave his body through the wound it entered to rejoin its master's soul.
Luna married fellow naturalist Rolf Scamander, grandson of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them author Newt Scamander, considerably later in life than Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, who all married and started families in their early-to-mid twenties.
They are just as vile as each other. The key difference is that Umbridge has more control being able to mask her " evil " and be in a government position where as Bellatrix is the person that has been caught and is more impulsive.
Hermione Didn't Have a Weakness That the Horcrux Could Exploit. Ron doubted Harry for embarking on a mission with little to no information. Harry was angry and disappointed in Dumbledore for keeping secrets. Hermione prioritized the mission above everything.
Yes, but Voldemort is convinced that no one knows he made Horcruxes. And that the Horcrux is safe in the cave. Besides, he would never allow anyone to wear the Slytherin locket. She kept lying to everyone that it was a family heirloom and that she was related to the Slelwyns.
Harry Potter had a few love interests during his time at Hogwarts. Though he eventually settled down with Ginny Weasley, he also had a thing for Cho Chang in his earlier school years. Then, of course, there's his secret love for Draco Malfoy… Wait, what?
J.K. Rowling says Draco doesn't have a patronus because he never learned the spell but I think it's because he doesn't have any powerful happy memories to use.
In Harry Potter, JK Rowling confirmed that Draco was actually in love with Hermione but didn't know how to fully express his emotions. If things were different and he told Hermione about how he felt, do you think they could've had a chance? No.
