I was convinced they were intelligent until you raised the subject. Let me 
explain. If DD thinks they can change sides, I see minds able to betray. We 
don't know if they have a concept of loyalty, but they practice lies. They 
can manage abstract concepts as agreements (you keep them in azkaban, so you 
can nourish of them). They know what a frontier line is (you stay out of 
Howgarts).

Those are examples. I hope I have not made it a mess, English is not my mother 
language. First post.
