Yes, that's just it. I'm sure that if the Cappers' foster-family had any sort of pull, we'd be hearing different consequences.

Although in Finnigan's case, it might be just as dire, in its way. After all, he may have special privileges (so does Dean Thomas--and so do I, come to that) but he's just as removed from his family as any halfblood in fostering.

It strikes me that they had a reason for placing him so well, what? And for making him such a massive pillock. I shouldn't think they'd like to throw away that sort of asset, if he did manage to muff things for himself.
