Juli:
Au Contraire. He just shows his Mark in one last
desperate attempt to convince Fudge that LV is back,
he left it for the very last minute. And funny how in
the 4 previous years there was no mention of it (I
know it was supposed to be clear but still).

Juli:
But why would he hang and be friends with guys who are
evil (reformed or whatever but still evil)? And
Karkarov was not only a DE but a traitor, he sent his
friends to jail for life, not a liked fellow. Maybe
Karkarov reminds him of the times when he was a killer
and he just doesn't want to remember.

Juli:
I do believe he has remorse of what he's done, he
feels so bad about it that he's helping the other side
and putting his life on the line. Admirable if you ask
me.
