Potioncat:  While I'm sure it was the others in the box, as you said, 
but what if she was upset at being with Lucius? It wouldn't be the 
first time we've been misled about a character.

Potioncat:
What if her reason for sending Draco to Hogwarts wasn't to have him 
close, but to keep him away from Karkaroff's influence? 
 

Mandy:
I'm sure Lucius wouldn't mind either, except that his is prison.  It 
would  only be an advantage for Lucius Malfoy to have an orphaned 
pureblood  under his wing as a second son, to use as he sees fit.

 
Potioncat:
Now that gives me cold chills.  I'd vote for Snape taking young Nott 
instead!

Potioncat...who wonders if we have a counterpart for ESE! to use for 
bad characters who might really be good?
