** [[spoiler: Snape]] becomes this to Hermione(and the others, to a lesser extent), despite his best efforts. He manages to get the Dark Lord to [[spoiler: send troops, if only a few thousand, to Bulgaria to fight the wolves]] and teaches her how to defend herself in her new role.
**Barty perceives himself as this, especially to [[spoiler: Edric]], and will attack anyone who tries to harm the others with incredible violence.
**Lucius Malfoy, who scares the Swedes into giving them a fleet to [[spoiler: break the siege of Castle Krum]]simply through force of reputation.
**Rinky the house elf, to the extent that he [[spoiler: sacrifices himself to save Hermione and Barty from Dementors, and uses his dying breath to demand Snape promise to guard his beloved Miss. Snape does it, to salute his courage and loyalty.]]

**[[spoiler: Stefan]] crosses it when he murders his uncle [[spoiler:Grigor Borev]] to claim his title and then uses it to conscript thousands of peasants, burning their homes and driving their women and children into the forest (in Eastern Europe,in December) to die. The fact he talks casually about his men raping the women is icing on the cake.
**[[spoiler: Travers]] goes over when he admits cheerfully to his mistress [[spoiler: Rita Skeeter]] that he was the one who loosed the [[spoiler:Dementors]] on the muggle village to test their capabilities, and justifies by pointing out they're only muggles.

**Pureblood culture runs on this:
**Early in the story, Hermione tries to escape[[spoiler: Hogwarts, which is being held by the Death Eaters]] by running out the door. She gets caught and Rodolphus [[spoiler:spanks her]]. In Pureblood culture, that's a very normal way to discipline a child, and he's hurt and surprised when she doesn't want to cuddle after so he can help her feel better. Hermione perceives the incident as an adult first hurting her and then wanting to act like it was all right.
** The Lestranges are genuinely unsure of how to react to Hermione's kindness toward the 'lower orders', but praise her for being cunning and her familiarity with the Dark Lord's writings.
