I am, however, fairly sure neither Crabbe NOR Goyle will become the

worse trouble than it is with Voldemort on the loose!

Melanie:
That brings up an interesting point though, does Voldie only recruit intelligent people or does he recruit anyone willing to support him.  I am inclined to think that he lets all who want to join up with him do so..but they may or may not be given any jobs to do.  But I do have to wonder about the Death Eaters IQ given that Wormtail has such a high position in the eyes of the Dark Lord.

Me:
But is Wormtail really all that stupid? No one seems to have suspected him, even as they suspected Lupin. He managed to keep his true intentions secret from his best friends. I'm of the opinion that Wormtail has a dangerous amount of cunning.
