I had a reply about the DE's Sanity........Clearly you can see that
Bellatrix is insane as they come. Being crazy dosn't mean you actually
forget things or are sub intelligent. The way she talks to Harry as if
he were a baby prooves that. When she was inprisoned he was a baby so
that's how she sees him in her mind. She still has her general
knowlege  like spells and people but years in Azkaban has messed up
her thought process. None of the other DEs who were in Azkaban got a
big speaking spotlight but I'm sure they are just as loony as her.
