Now Alice:
I'm now wondering exactly what "wuss" means. So I'll use my own slang 
and say they portrayed Malfoy as a complete wimp. I loved that 
because it is exactly how I imagine Malfoy: big mouth, and absolutely 
NO courage. The invisible attack is really not as bad as it would 
have been for one of us, since Malfoy lives in the Wizarding World - 
he should be used to strange things happening occasionally. If he had 
any sense he might even have figured it all out. (Oh, all right, 
maybe not...) Anyway, someone on the Main List once very long ago 
posted a long-long mail in which they stated that Malfoy was Ever So 
Lame. I completely go with that. Malfoy's not a rival like we used to 
think Snape had been to MWPP (before Phoenix came out and we got to 
know more about THAT particular relationship). He's not an enemy like 
Lucius Malfoy is to the Light Side. He's just plain LAME. Which is 
why I luuuuurved it when he cringed under Hermione's wand, and fled 
after the shrieking shack incident, and whimpered whenever ANYTHING 
happened to him.

By the way, what's this paralell between Ron, Draco and chopping off 
of limbs? I laughed so hard when Ron started explaining to Hermione 
that his leg was practically done for. Ney, guys, not the best 
behaviour to learn off Draco and Pansy!

Whatever. :) Alice
