Oh, so now non-humans don't matter? So goblins aren't cute & cuddly 
like house elves, they have feelings too! And so they're a little 
bit bitter & paranoid - but after all that wizard double-crossing, 
wouldn't you be too? Goblins are just misunderstood souls, oppressed 
by wizards who call their reasonable social customs "fanatical". 
Pfft. And paranoid Griphook pretty much had the right idea about the 
Trio's plan after all, didn't he? I say, he was promised that sword, 
& he had a right to it. Run, Griphook, run! :)
