In the Harry Potter books who is Stan Shunpike?

Answer 1

Stan Shunpike is the conductor on the Knight Bus, the magical wizard's bus. He first appears at the beginning of the third book, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. After magically inflating his Aunt Marge, Harry runs away from the Dursley's, and ends up accidentally flagging down the Knight Bus.

Then in book 6 (Half-Blood Prince) we find out that Stan has been arrested and sent to Azkaban for talking about Death Eater plans in a pub. Harry and his friends speculated that Stan was simply lying to impress a girl or something, since Stan has never been very bright. But then at the beginning of Deathly Hallows (the "Seven Potters" chapter), Stan is flying with the Death Eaters, chasing Harry and his friends and trying to kill them. However, he appears to be under the influence of the Imperius Curse (the mind-control curse).

So, it seems that Stan ends up having some kind of involvement with the Death Eaters, but it's not clear how much of it, if any, was voluntary.
