Lol, I was JUST about to create a thread similar to this after viewing the "Is Love enough of a reason?" thread.xD Haha, thankfully I checked the other threads before.

I think one of the biggest reasons why I love Deathly Hallows the most was because of all those itty bitty references to things of the past that do indeed relate. However, to spark up a little more discussion with this totally awesome topic, I have a different question to ask.

Most of us would like to believe that we'd stand up against people who commit such horrendous acts... && I've lost track of how many times I've told people that I wish I had lived in that time and place to see what my initial reaction was because, honestly? Though I'd like to humor myself and say there's no way I'd ever be okay with such a thing, would I really do everything in my power to "stop it"? The truth is, I don't know if I really would. There's so many factors involved.xD

Sooo, let's say: You were someone like Draco, a pure blood [A blonde-haired, blue-eyed German adolescent]. Surrounded and brought up by Death Eaters [Nazi-like Hitler loyals], do you honestly think you'd go against it even if it meant your death? Perhaps like Sirius? If so, would you go the extra mile and work from the inside for whatever your reason like Snape? [Schindler, anyone? If you people haven't seen the Schindler's List, you must!] Or would you hide out and not have to deal with committing something you knew to be wrong like Slughorn [The ex amount of Germans who fled to Europe and later, America in fear]? Or better yet, would we be like Fudge, choosing to ignore all of the blatant proof until after so much blood was shed? [Though the Allies came to the rescue eventually, they could've saved far more lives if they hadn't chosen to ignore/doubt all of the "rumours".

Most importantly, WHY? I mean, I've always been told I have a sassy personality and that I need to learn to "cool it" and not to act impulsively, but if I were to really sit down and go over all the areas that need to be considered, I'd have to say I'd do something stupid and get myself killed instead of actually "making a difference".

So, where do you think you play into this whole concept?
