"Just following orders" is an insufficient excuse though (considering it's one numerous villains use). Do you think Stormtroopers aren't villains because they're "just following orders"? What about Nazis? Also, Fudge WASN'T "just following orders" because he was in charge. That's my point: he ennabled Umbridge's cruelty because he gave her free reign to do what she wanted. So the "just following orders" excuse makes zero sense for him.

As for Dawlish, you conveniently forgot about how, as I mentioned, he was party to crimes against muggle-borns under the Voldemort-run Ministry and did it without any remorse at all. There is no excuse for that, he counts as a villain. "Just following orders" is a worthless excuse that doesn't save countless villains on this site, it shouldn't save him.

No reason to merge TR and Voldemort when we haven't done the same for Nagini. After all, she's one of his Horcruxes too, yet she still has a separate page. Why should it be any different for the TRI?
