I apologize for any strange formatting and attribute it entirely to 
Yahoomort as the message looked normal before I clicked "preview" 
the first time.  I tried to fix it, but who knows what will happen 
when I hit "send?"

KathyK:

Your memory is just fine.  "Rodolphus" is the correct spelling, and 
can be found in OoP in Chapter 6, "The Noble And Most Ancient House
of Black," US ed. p. 114.  Also, Lucius utters his name spelled 
thusly in Chapter 35, "Beyond the Veil," US p.788.

KathyK, wondering what purpose wearing masks and face-hiding hoods 
serves the Death Eaters when they all wander around calling each
other by name, anyway.  Just the fear factor?  Even if they expected 
none of the children to survive the encounter in the DoM, it seems 
an unnecessary risk.  Must be the intimidation, then. Huh.
