Interesting observation, CMC, and great filk!  I never realized it 
before, but I think you are right...I can not remember even one 
specific word ever uttered out loud by Crabbe or Goyle. Is JKR doing 
this on purpose?  Will they someday speak to us, thus revealing 
something important?  Or will they grunt and snigger their way thru 
all 7 books?
