>Jen:
What *would* scare Borgin, that's the question isn't it? The dark 
mark doesn't sit well with me because it's hard to believe Borgin 
hasn't seen a whole lot worse, given his age and business dealings.

>vmonte:
Really Jen? I think Borgin would be afraid if Draco showed him the
dark mark. Haven't several people died and/or disappeared recently?
Doesn't having the mark mean that you belong to that particular
group?

>Betsy Hp:
I agree with Jen. I'm sure Borgin has been involved in a lot of
dark dealings considering his store. Not only does Lucius not scare
him, he actually had Tom Riddle himself working for him at one
point.

vmonte again:
Here is how I interpret the scene with Draco and Borgin.

Draco: This is what I want you to do. (Doesn't get enough of a 
response from Borgin.) You don't know what you're dealing with here 
do you? Look at this? (Shows him the mark.) 

Borgin: Horrified expression, thinks of recent deaths and murders, 
including of other shop owners (even of that ice cream vendor that 
was killed). 

Draco: Yeah, that's right! You should be afraid! And guess what? I'm 
not going to just kill you with an AK I'm going to send a werewolf in 
here so that he can SHRED YOU TO PIECES! Now get a move on! By the 
way, you better not slack off. The werewolf will be checking in on 
you--GOT IT! 

I'm not sure why it matters whether Borgin is a petty criminal or 
not. Having your life threatened is still scary, no?
