== Small spelling error ==
== Re-doubled agent ==
Hello! There is a small spelling error, I believe, in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix section, paragraph 2, sentence 3. "Harry 'enrols' in Slughorn's class." I'm pretty sure it should be "enrolls." Thanks! [[Special:Contributions/74.126.231.228|74.126.231.228]] ([[User talk:74.126.231.228|talk]]) 01:26, 30 July 2023 (UTC)


My understanding is that a re-doubled agent is a [[double agent]] whose identity is compromised resulting in him spying for the people he tried to fool whereas a [[triple agent]] is a [[double agent]] whose deception includes pretending to be a double agent for his enemy’s side. If that’s the case, it would be more accurate to call [[Severus Snape]] a triple agent than a re-doubled agent [[Special:Contributions/142.113.6.241|142.113.6.241]] ([[User talk:142.113.6.241|talk]]) 19:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Re-doubled agent

[edit]

My understanding is that a re-doubled agent is a double agent whose identity is compromised resulting in him spying for the people he tried to fool whereas a triple agent is a double agent whose deception includes pretending to be a double agent for his enemy’s side. If that’s the case, it would be more accurate to call Severus Snape a triple agent than a re-doubled agent 142.113.6.241 (talk) 19:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
