SSSusan:
This is almost totally off the topic of your post, but your mention 
of a "monitary diet" for Draco struck me.  Do folks here think Lucius 
has to work?  I somehow thought his wealth was inherited and that he 
doesn't have to work beyond anything he chooses to do for fun or gain 
(of power).  Do we have any canon support for his working or not 
working?
