Questions:

<1. Why is Lucius Malfoy considered by Voldemort to be a better servant than 
most of the other Death Eaters?>

I would guess it is the fact that he is in a postion of power, and no one 
can revoke it, because they can't prove that he is a Death Eater. From what 
we know, we know that he has power over Hogwarts, the court system (think 
Buckbeak), and I'm sure there were others. We haven't heard of any other DE 
with that kind of totalitarian power over everyone. He has an obvioius 
hatred for Muggles and "Mudbloods", and we all know about Tom Riddle's 
opinion of his father...it's all about The Cause, baby, and Lucius is a big 
believer.

<2. Who are the Lestranges that are serving time in Azkaban?>

That seems rather retorical, since no one really knows, and...I have no 
clue.

<3. Will Voldemort get the dementors and the giants to follow him in his
"army of creatures whom all fear"?>

That really is The Question, isn't it? I would think that the dementors 
would be all too willing to join up with him, since what they want are happy 
people to suck to joy out of, and I'm sure Voldemort would provide them with 
the people he has abducted and has no use for. However, we must remember 
that the dementors are not evil; they are currently compling with the 
Ministry by working at Azkaban, and not roaming the streets sucking the 
souls from children. Of course, they *are* dark creatures. Hmmm. I think the 
jury is still out on them. As for Giants, I would think they would be likely 
to help the good side, since Hagrid is such a sweetie. Plus, the moral of 
these books seems to be "Sterotypes are almost always very wrong", and 
everyone thinks that Giants are bad, soooo. Of course, they are thought to 
be bad, and that might mean they are predjudice. . . and Hagrid is a half 
breed of human/giant, so that might not go over so well.

<4. And of course the eternal question. Why did Voldemort untie Harry and 
give him back his wand?>

I think that Voldemort was either trying to show all of his minions (the 
Death Eaters) that he could kill the silly Potter boy even when he was 
armed, that what happened before was just a fluke, etc. Or he was just 
toying with Harry, letting him think he might have a chance, and then bling, 
pow, he's dead.
