Auntie Muriel Character Analysis

The Weasley children's 107-year-old great-aunt. She's widely disliked as she's loud, obnoxious, and a gossip. Though it's implied that she's on the side of good, she also expresses clear disdain for Dumbledore—though this could also be the product of her Rita Skeeter-esque love of gossip, since Dumbledore's past is sordid and interesting.

The accusations he had heard from Muriel at the wedding seemed to have nested in his brain like diseased things, infecting his memories of the wizard he had idolized.

Could he have turned his back on a sister who was being imprisoned and hidden?
