I don't see that Crouch Sr. showed any rejoicing  over the agony 
and humiliation of the people he sent to Azkaban. And isn't 
Voldemort just as cruel and unjust when he kills Cedric without 
bothering to torture him first as he is when he tries to kill Harry?

I think Rita is perfectly well aware of the cruelty of her story
about Hermione--or don't you agree that her motive was 
revenge?

ME: Oh I'm sure revenge did play a big role although if a good nasty story about Hermoine presented herself Rita would have wrote it anyways.  Personally though I thought Crouch Senior is very evil but as for Lord Voldemort, he doesn't even bare mentioning as he is the absolute of evil.  And I think he's beyond just torture.  Torturing somebody means their life has a certain value to you at least in a preverse way so that you wish to torment them. Their feelings, even pain and suffering has some meaning. Other people's life has no meaning at all to Lord Voldemort.  He tortured Potter not for pleasure but just as a demonstration to the DE's of his superiority.   But there is a big difference between a nasty lying reporter who writes fallacious gossip to the totally evil Voldemort or even the cruel and hard Crouch.  I'm not sure I'm saying this right or not, actually and no Crouch isn't in nearly the same catagory as Volemort.  But I don't think I'd lump Rita with either of them.  Huggs Becky
