Alla:

I am not sure if Va32h meant " real friendly" DE, but I certainly 
did. So, no I don't think that Barty Jr. was friendly and nice to 
Harry, because as we found out he was participating  in  preparing 
his kidnapping and murder. Have we seen DE genuinely happy towards 
people, helping anybody for once?

Have we ever heard Malfoy Sr. laugh? Not maliciously smile at 
Arthur, but laugh normally? Have we ever seen Bella show some kind 
of love towards Narcissa , actually scratch that, some argued that 
she showed it in Spinner's end, but even though I agree that her 
insane self was at the most normalcy at Spinner's End, I don't think 
that saying that if she had sons she would give them all to Dark 
Lord ( paraphrase) counts as showing love and caring towards her 
sister. Have we ever seen Bella showing normal Friendly feelings 
towards anybody else?

Are you arguing that they wanted Ron to die?

Ron is a few steps away from becoming their enemy, and I

Alla:

How do you know that Ron is about to become twins' enemy?
