You might be on to something here.  I would agree that "vile" is a
rather good word for it, or at the very least "ignoble."  I often
really wonder why anyone -- meaning Harry -- really cares what
happens to these ignoble morons.  Of course, Harry does have a
personal stake in it.  Which gets us back to the revenge theme.
