Mmm..yes.  But I wonder if she will really play that large a role in the books.  Hmmm..  She is rather sparkly isn't she?  I don't suppose JKR would have highlighted her specifically in the Pensieve scene if she didn't plan to give her a larger role in the books.  Ho hum.  I hope so.  She was exciting. 

Charis Julia again:

Oh, of course! *pauses* Well, I suppose it depends on your definition of "Edge".  I mean, there can certainly be Evilness without Edge *and* Edge without Evilness...but I think that they could coexist as well.

I guess I define Edge as that certain dangerous, different sort of Spark that exists in the most interesting Heroes *and* Villains..Crouch Jr., for instance, is sort of Edgy to me...however Wormtail wouldn't know Edge if it striped naked and danced the Macarena for him. Conversely, Lupin is the classic example of Edge, while Arthur Weasley hasn't got it at all.

To me, Edge has nothing to do with morals and ideals, but everything to do personality -- and we all know that every personality has its own positive and negative aspects -- that people with very similar personalities can be as different as night and day when it comes to their morals.
