3Exactly, Griphook knew Harry had no intention of returning it and that he had no chance of standing up to the boy of legend (even if his success was more luck and wit than skill with the wand in a magical duel, Griphook didn't know this).– Michael BrownCommented Mar 13, 2013 at 22:14

Ok fine. It's not really a betrayal but it's a huge hindrance to defeating Voldemort. If Voldemort wins then Griphook 'loses'. Makes sense to get Harry et al out to defeat Voldemort. I don't see any opportunity cost here. Ostensibly, Griphook has everything to gain and nothing to lose by getting them out or at least saving them. What am I missing?

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
