That's an interesting twist to the situation, but I think by book 6 or 7,
Harry should know better....there is a lot of stigmatism in the books about
Muggle-bloods and Squibs....and also a lot of negativity towards DeathEaters...
only Lucious Malfoy and Professor Snape have any baggage from their previous
days with Voldemort...but we all know Malfoy (Crabbe, and Goyle) continued
alliance with Voldemort......
I am not saying that Harry is incapable of stepping into a trap like that
nor am I saying that it isn't impossible for someone in Voldemort's
camp to reform.....I'm just saying that it is probably less probable for this
scenario to happen than even Harry hooking up with Patti.....
Good try though....it had me intrigued for a couple of minutes....
