This is where it gets tricky. Fred and George are both coded in this 
version as "evil" which I believe... since they'd probably aid them 
in some way like Richelle originally mentioned awhile back. THe idea 
of Percy being good shocks me, as does Ginny.
 
If we break Richelle's newer idea and do their names as most liklely 
given on their birth certificates:
Percival Weasley (7) EVIL
Virginia Weasley (8) Good (BUGGER!)

Ginny should have evil next to her name because she aided Tom Riddle 
when the CoS was opened.


Richelle continued: (Well, the highlights of her LONG list)
> Draco Malfoy (5) evil
> Neville Longbottom (6) good
> Pansy Parkinson (5) evil
> Marcus Flint (3) evil
> Oliver Wood (5) evil (once again, maybe not of his choosing, but 
alas)
> Albus Dumbledore (6) good
> Gilderoy Lockhart (6) good
> Cornelius Fudge (6) good
> Tom Marvolo Riddle (6) good 
> Lucius Malfoy (6) good???

While being a loyal fangirl (yes I'm female) of Draco Malfoy, I do 
see the "Draco Is Evil" thing. And also being a member of N.I.N.E. 
(Neville is NOT evil), I was quite pleased to see that Neville is 
indeed good. ::cheers::

I do disagree with the idea of Gilderoy Lockhart being Good and Fudge 
being good as well.  It just doesn't seem Right.

Tom Riddle....ahh.... he was good until he took the path to the dark 
side. To quote Yoda from star wars:
"Fear leads to anger
anger leads to hate
hate leads to suffering...
and that is the path to the dark side..."

I think that Tom Riddle had some fear of being alone in that Muggle 
orphanage and that lead to the anger of his father leaving him. His 
anger lead to hatred for Muggles, because that is what his father 
was. His hatred then lead to suffering, because during his reign of 
terror, he killed Muggles and Mudbloods. And that my friends, was Tom 
Riddle's path to the dark side.

As for Lucius Malfoy being good?! Well, this code can't *always* be 
perfect.
