Tina says:  Wouldn't Lucius Malfoy make a terrific Polyjuiced! 
Harry.  That would have been fantastic (for laughs, not for the 
school). Quite an internal struggle going on there... Does the 
Polyjuice potion work if the person (being copied) is dead?  How 
newly dead would still work (sorry, that is rather brazen).  
Needless to say, I'm glad it worked out the way it did. 

 One slightly related question regarding this chapter in GoF, where 
 are all the women?  Are there any women DE's besides Bellatrix?  
 What about Narcissa? She was (implied) to be having fun torturing 
 muggles at the QWC but she wasn't in the circle.  So aside from 
 pureblood mania are the DEs also anti-woman or ...  Does JKR use 
 this to make us (the readers) dislike them more?  I noticed that it 
does seem to  trickle down - Slytherin has no female quidditch 
players either.
