Please, Alice, don't heap more guilt on yourself. You walked into a helluva situation, trying to take over the Order on the fly, when we were all reeling in shock over Dad's death. Don't forget, I went totally off my nut, and I wasn't any bloody help at all to you with the transition, overseeing all the details at the Ministry, and I should have been.
To be scrupulously fair, it was Dad's choice and Dad's responsibility to leave Capper put. He did have honestly valid reasons for that choice. No one could have foreseen Capper's accident.
The real responsibility, though, goes to the heartless bastards who snapped his wand and send him to that camp in the first place. Don't forget that.
