Just imagine why he took that personal interest in Harry -- he 
already got the job because someone else (Barty Crouch) proved unfit 
at the last minute. He's already taking the heat for letting Black 
escape. IMAGINE if something were to happen to Harry Potter on his 
watch. Kiss his job wayyy goodbye.
He's staked his reputation on keeping peace -- now it's keep peace or 
die trying.
For right now, I think he's pure-blood biased (remember, Dumbledore 
was looking at him as if he had just seen him for the first time at 
the end of GoF, and accused him of being clouded by those views), but 
not particularly evil. I think he's fool enough to think V. is right, 
but wouldn't do anything boldly malicious. Still, having a blustering 
fool who harbors those biases covering up Voldemort's intentions is 
highly convenient for the Voldy gang. His position could wreak a lot 
more havoc on the wizarding world than ten Death Eaters at the 
Hogwarts staff table.
I do, however, think he will eventually die.

Depends if I'd have to read the same book over and over again, and 
whether or not that book was a Harry Potter. If it was the same book, 
I'd probably pick limericks.
