the idea of being able to claim in his defence (if caught) that he 
had saved them from the vengeful Bella and her ever-ready AK. 

Now me:
Always enjoy your insightful posts Kneasy, and I'm interested on what 
gives you then impression that Bellatrix foremost skill is Killing?  

I got the impression that her skills lie in the art of using pain for 
both information extraction, and in the forcing of her victims to do 
her will.  Using the Cruciatus and Imperius Curses are more her 'cup 
of tea' than the AK.  Of course that's not to say she doesn't use 
it.  I'm sure she does and very easily, but I don't think she enjoys 
it as much as the others.  I can see Bella positively rejoicing at 
the thought of Frank and Alice still alive and insane after all this 
time.
