Potioncat:
I'm confused.  (All together, "What else is new?")

Why would  the Senior Goyle's absence affect the boys?  Only 12 of 
whatever number of DEs go to the MoM.  Either LV chose the 12 
himself or he had Malfoy make up the list.  On this particular 
mission, Crabbe went, Goyle didn't.  Didn't we see about 30 DEs at 
the Graveyard?  Crabbe is just one of many who were not assigned to 
this mission.

We could come up with lots of guesses why he wasn't there or what 
his role will be...(He'll beat up Mark Evans in the next book.)  But 
I don't see how it would affect the relationship of the boys unless 
he had refused to go. (In which case, there will be a funeral.)

Harry named Nott, Crabbe, Golye and Malfoy earlier in the year and 
now the MoM is taking that testimony more seriously.  So all the 
boys have reason to dislike Harry.

I suspect Nott Sr. and whoever Babyhead is will be at St Mungos.  
And I would expect Babyhead to be in the same ward as the 
Longbottoms, Lockhart and Agnes.  (For the drama of it.  I can't see 
it in a RW hospital)

Potioncat who will never catch up with this list this summer!
