Wow - great point. I questioned Wormtail's 'delicateness' too, and again
gave JKR too little credit.

And thanks for that clarification about Crabbe and Goyle. But I have to
say JKR has been clever in pretending to present bad and good guys in
black and white, then surprising you. This is actually very instructive
to young people, since it's often quite tough to really know a person :
as Shakespeare says, "You can smile and smile and be a villain" ,and
similarly good guys don't always have pleasing exteriors or friendly
personalities.

Similarly, people abusing positions of power (e.g. elder Malfoy) don't
necessarily have to be evil through and through. In others words,
obviously, most people are a cut of grey. I figured the Malfoys would
be ultimately found to be merely annoying, not irretrievably evil.
