Bookworm:
I suggested (many months ago now) that Malfoy would be out of 
Azkaban soon and would stage a coup to take over the Ministry.  In 
keeping with Ron's joking prediction, his father will be appointed 
Minister as the person most likely to help restore calm after Malfoy 
is defeated - probably late in book 7.  Any takers pro or con?
