1. Tell your friend: 'I wasn't living in England before, but I was at the Cup.'
2. I admonished the mob for taking out their frustration on helpless victims, rather than fighting for a change in regime. The question of what ordinary people should do, ongoing, however, is thorny. It depends largely on one's means. Simply being kind to the muggleborns around one is a start. Refusing to believe it when the Ministry tells you ... well, that I'm dead, for example, or when they try to blame muggles for something that Death Eaters have likely done themselves, that's another important thing. Keeping faith in true friends. Someone your age isn't likely to have the ability to do much more, but, in general, finding ways to make the world a little less prejudiced or unfair, that's perhaps the best we can ask for now.
As for the DogStar, well. That's harder to answer. Let's say for now that I don't condone their methods and I do wish they'd stop implementing plots that cause a lot of collateral damage. I'd rather see them using their resources to save muggles and muggleborns, than just trying to assassinate as many powerful wizards as they think they can get.
