Carol responds:
Not necessarily. "Most loyal servant" does not imply second in
command. LV seems to use the DE's natural talents and inclinations.
Lucius is a born leader and manipulator; Bellatrix is a sadist who
specializes in the Cruciatus Curse; there's an Imperio specialist
(Mulciber?) and a beast killer (Macnair). I'm guessing that Snape was
the potions specialist and that LV had many uses for him. But I see no
conflict between Lucius as an officer leading his troops in the raid
and Bellatrix and the equally fanatic Barty Jr. being more loyal than
he is. (I think Lucius is primarily interested in Lucius.)
Sorry--company here. Can't finish post.
Merry Christmas to all!
