good.  Could be that a person who was really bad "messes up" and aids 
the good side unintentionally.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Weasleys.  I'd have preferred to have 
Percy evil.  But alas, he's come out good.  Which confirms that he 
will come back to good even if he does "go bad." Of course.  ;)  Now, 
I see Fred and George as very likely the type who may get into some 
sort of mischief that through no intentional evil aids the side of 
evil.  Bill and Charlie we really don't know well enough to work that 
out yet.

Well... one name is conspicuous by its absence.  I had to run that 
one thru the code myself:

Severus Snape (5) evil

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Eater was one of those appalling mistakes we sometimes make when 
we're young and know everything.
