  Jeff:

    Yeah, I guess pasty is more accurate, but he seems so prim and 
proper that I'm guessing he fancies himself a dandy. I can easily 
envision himself staring in the mirror and taking as much time in the 
bathroom as many females do. :)

   Jeff:
  Yes, I thought many of the changes and the deleted scenes in COS 
were intresting and should've been kept in. The insight was great. 
But iirc, Lucius isn't as mean in the book? But regardless, I found 
it intresting, almost like the director wanted to have us pity Draco.
