This is definitely getting interesting and twisted. 'Twould appear that there are several parties in addition to the obvious three of the Dark Lord and his minions, Fudge and the Ministry, and Dumbledore and, to steal from another story, the Friends of the Frying Fowl. It should be "fascinating to watch the interactions as well as Harry's attempts to negotiate his way through mess and tangle.

Oh, yes - there are more than three sides. Harry needs a power base of his own if he is to take on Voldemort, so it is sensible he should have his own set of supporters. And when there are more than two sides, it makes sense to have groups try to eliminate less viable groups by any means they can.
Thanks for your opinion and reading and reviewing.
