Well, given how clueless wizards are about psychological trauma, I can't see turning teacups into rats being a big deal to them even if it is your sister's teacup. Transfiguring her into a rat, sure, but just changing an object in front of her for a bit of a scare? Nah. It has no physical effect, and there's no drunken mob threatening physical violence later, so what's the harm?
I think I could get over a Lily who was merely fickle or shallow. That would just be disappointing. But fickleness or shallowness as a motivation to passively support four-on-one waterboarding? That's just horrifying.
