a go at it.

I agree that Dudley represents gluttony, but I think Snape's anger comes from Envy so I  
put Envy with Snape,  Pride/Vanity could be Lockhart, but it could also be Draco.  They are 
both so vain and prideful it's hard to chose one, but I believe I'll put Draco with Pride/
Vanity only because he's a major character throughout the entire series.  Anger...this one 
is tough, LV is one major angry dude, but his anger seems to come from so many different 
places that it is hard to place.  But I think I'll put Anger with LV.  Lust...that is Lucius 
Malfoy..he lusts for power and prestige...going way beyond greed.   Although I agree that 
Percy would be a good fit for that, but Lucius just drips with it in my opinion.  Greed..I 
don't think Percy is so much greedy as he is vain, he wants to go above his present station 
in life that doesn't make him greedy, at least not in my opinion.  What about Pettigrew as 
the greedy one.  Greed makes one completly selfish...but that fits Percy... It's either Percy 
or Peter as Greed.  Sloth is pretty easy to fit, Crabbe or Goyle...

That's all I can come up with at the moment.  What a great post Tonks!
