Am I one of those little winged balls that Harry Potter catches in that flying game? No.
As to whether if I saw something really bad would I inform the correct authorities? You bet I would, regardless of reward or reputation or whatever. I believe strongly in justice, and the law, though not perfect, is a vital part of society. I know if something bad happened to me, or someone I cared about, I would want answers, I would want the offender caught and I would hope someone would have the common decency to come forward and provide the information needed to see justice done. And since I consider myself a person with common decency I would do the same.
Does this make me a snitch? No, just a member of the human race who would do what's right. There is a major difference between holding back information on a serious crime, and holding back information about how your little brother is the one who accidentally dented the car (unless he dented the car running over some child or something, in which case I would convince him to turn himself in.)
