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.
