Geoff:
Putting aside your oft-mentioned desire for murder, mayhem and chaos, there could be an 
interesting parallel here.

'"What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!"

"Pity? It was pity that stayed his hand. Pity and mercy: not to strike without need. And he 
has been well rewarded, Frodo...."

"I am sorry," said Frodo. "But I am frightened; and I do not feel any pity for Gollum.....
...He deserves death."

"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve 
life. can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement.....
.....And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part 
to play yet, for good or ill, before the end: and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule 
the fate of many - yours not least..."'
(J.R.R.Tolkien "Fellowship of the Ring" "The Shadow of the Past"

What part has Draco still got to play? Hmmm. I wonder.
