Yup silly me - I knew that and thats what I meant to type ... between Azkaban and imprisonment w/his father ... my bad and no I hadn't been drinking at the time. :::wink::: 

In GoF when he talks about coming alive and feeling his old self it made me think of what Hagrid said about leaving Azkaban in PoA. The Dementors 
suck the life and happy out and it seems his father used the Imperius Curse to 
keep him basically the same, down trodden and weak and complacent, so he wouldn't be a problem. 

Oh, and I agree about Crouch Jr being blatantly arrogant. I cannot wait to 
read what the real Mad Eye Moody is like and compare them. I'm sure there will 
be some wonderful subtle differences. 


Maria: I really hope we see the Lestranges. They sound amazing. But I don't 
think they enjoy Azkaban. <g>

I couldn't agree more I hope we can all just immerse ourselves in their 
story, the background intrigue is what keeps me hooked. Also I don't think 
they enjoyed it either, just maybe it wasn't so bad if they had that one goal 
in mind of returning to Voldemorts side. Ya know, like if you keep your focus 
on just one thought, the Dementors might not hold such sway over you. (not 
that this would diminish their power by much.)
