All I or Hazel can do is sometimes revert people in a slightly more effective way than regular contributors. No special authority inherently comes with rollback privileges as opposed to admins or moderators who can block contirbutors, delete pages, or close discussions. On a wiki you can hand out rollback rather liberally and the only potential misuse is the same misuse possible for anyone able to edit the page.

BTW, peanut gallery, I try to write everything with a truly factual tone and take exception to being effectively told I am engaged in rule-breaking behavior when the underlying charge is objectively false. You all can say we should treat it as factual and, honestly, it isn't even worth fighting over for me, but it doesn't change the reality that nothing within the episode prevents them from later revealing one or both of his parents managed to survive. Were that to happen then we would obviously have been putting forward a false claim as true and I like to be as accurate as possible, which means allowing for doubt when there is room for doubt.
