Alla:

To me black envy not only means taking things from other person, but 
also wishing bad things or expressing ill feelings toward the person 
who has that thing, BECAUSE that person has it.

I think Ron was doing PLENTY of that in GoF. I will find quotes later 
tonight ( no book with me), if nobody else will
