1-Mrs. Bumble may have thought she knew the lady in the locket (dont forget it was a well established family) she may have been hoping for a reward.
2- less chance of Fagin getting caught and more hands meant more takings.
3-Nancy may have a poor background but it doesn't mean she had no morals. She wanted something good to happen for someone and she saw Oliver just didnt fit in her world.
4-Fagin was hoping to score big it was like a just in case box so if he had to leave quickly he had assets to liquidate.
5-Shows Oliver had Gumption- he could have backed down even though he picked the short stick but he still went forward. Just as he kept trying throughout the whole story to succeed.
