Eaters.  Although it seems that way at times do we actually know 
what their feelings on Voldemort are.  As far as I know we see 
Crabbe, Malfoy and Goyle all wince at the sound of his name.  So do 
they still fear Voldemort?

that I absolutely love is his sarcasm.  It is really refreshing to 
see a character like him still maintain his sense of humor.  Even in 
turbulent times like the Wizarding world is in.

I think he is possibly the Peter Pettigrew for the good side if that 
makes sense.  He betrayed his friends to join along side Albus 
Dumbledore instead of choosing to be with Voldemort.  Just a 
thought.
