Well, yes, that is how I also read Va32h point - BUT I think that it 
is VERY interesting that so far we had NOT seen friendly and cheerful 
DE in the series and I mean as in "real friendly"

I interpret it as JKR treating "being nice to other people" as virtue 
and not assigning it to Death Eaters. Simplistic - maybe, but quite 
telling to me. 

JMO of course,
