One question I have -- Does Voldy know about the CoS/Diary incident?
He makes no mention of it in his speech.  Perhaps LM would not be so
much in V's good graces if V knew that he had cravenly tried to bring
him back by "cloning" (via the Diary) rather than searching out the real
mccoy and having to answer for his seeming disloyalty since V vanished.

*Why* does he have so much power over the MoM?  Is he a big
campaign donor?  Is he president of the National Unforgivable-Curses
Association?  Does he have more dirt on everyone than Rita Skeeter?

And now I'm worried that next time he'll get D. ousted for a *long*
period of time.  (Disclaimer: No rumors that I know of to this effect --
Just my own  personal anxiety about the "talk" Fudge is going to
have with D.)
