Actually, Heidi, I thought that was a stroke of brilliance.  I really
enjoyed it, it made me laugh out loud, and I didn't even find it violated my
suspension of disbelief.  See, I'm not as picky as I sound.

That's very true as well.  They are two entirely different extrapolations of
the character.  I don't really have a problem with either one of them as
such.  (And I should also mention that I loved your description of Lucius's
interviews with Draco.  I can believe his home life would be something like
that, no problem at all.)
