Umbridge serves as quite the cautionary tale, doesn't she? Our House values and principles can be twisted round to serve a darker purpose just as much as any.
I'm very glad you're one of the people at the helm, Susan. It really does help set the tone for everyone else, and the example you provide is so very important.
Do you think your Mr Smith might be amenable to talking with Harry or Justin about his future? If he's in over his head, it could be hard for him to gain a sense of perspective, and it might do him well to know he has some support (or at least people he could turn to in a crisis).
