Bart:
 From Robert Hare's PSYCHOPATHS: NEW TRENDS IN RESEARCH (by way of 
Wikipedia): "intraspecies predators who use charm, manipulation, 
intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy their own 
selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they 
cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please, violating 
social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or 
regret." Here is Robert Hare's website: http://www.hare.org/

As far as Tommy and Harry being cousins, according to Sirius, pretty 
much ALL the "purebloods" are cousins, and Jimmy Potter was pureblood, 
so the math is easy from here.
