I'm very curious as to which role the Goblins will play in VW II. They seem all to 
likely to get into the heat of things (they apparently started rebellions every other 
week), and they do have power. By themselves ("They're quite capable of dealing with 
wizards,' said Hermione, sipping more of her Butterbeer. "They're very clever. They're 
not like house-elves, who never stick up for themselves." - GoF, Rita Skeeter's Scoop) 
and in terms of money, too. Wonder what Lucius Malfoy would say if Dumbledore got 
the Gringotts Goblins to close all DE accounts. ^_~
Serious, they won't do that, and from FBAWTFT it seems like Goblins enjoy playing 
the jester role, mocking the rulers, but I don't think they'll stay out once the war gets 
serious. What do you think?
