Amey:
> Good "DE" as in he is good person but DE (like Snape) or he is 
loyal DE? Sorry, couldn't help it.
> Anyways I think that is what kept him from getting too much 
chastised in graveyard. And also, he is the leader of the DEs in 
DoM, even if Bella is there. So I think he is something more than 
just plain DE. Might be LV's right hand. (Any connections to *Hand* 
in Prophesy???)


SSSusan:
That is *NOT* my quote, above your response--I'd just like to 
clarify that.  MY part of that post was a reply to what Lucius might 
have hoped to accomplish with the diary.  (In my opinion, he wanted 
to wreak havoc on Muggle-borns at Hogwarts *and* get DD in 
trouble.)  So I've got nothing to say about "good DEs" because it 
wasn't my term.

> Harry looked anxiously behind him again. Snape remained close by, 
still buried in his exam questions - but this was Snape's memory and 
Harry was sure that if Snape chose to wander off in a different 
direction once outside in the grounds, he, Harry, would not be able 
to follow James any further. To his intense relief, however, when 
James and his three friends strode off down the lawn towards the 
lake, Snape followed, still poring over the exam paper and 
apparently with no fixed idea of where he was going. By keeping a 
little ahead of him, Harry managed to maintain a close watch on 
James and the others.

SSSusan:
Point well taken!
