Hmmmm, and remember that Hermione --- JKR's alter ego in the series - 
has a major crush on Gilderoy... AND her portrait of Lockhart is
actually quite vicious....all the pictures in hair curlers in his 
office...and he really is ready to leave GW to her fate (as well as
everyone else in the castle) AND obliterate HP and RW's memories..his 
cowardice makes him quite evil.....
