  Rowena:

  Oh they matter. I just don't quite see why they automatically matter
more than humans.

  Rowena:

  As far as I can tell re: Wizard/Goblin relations it's been six of 
one and half dozen of the other - and Goblins are a heck of a lot less
helpless then House Elves.

  Rowena:

  Do I sense irony? :) Seriously it would seem from what Bill says that
Griphook's beliefs are regarded as somewhat extreme even by fellow 
Goblins.

  Rowena:

  Harry definitely entered a darkish gray area there. But it is kind
of hard to see what else he could have done - he had to get into 
Gringotts and he needed the sword to destroy the horcrux. Maybe he 
should have explained that to Griphook - at least that only the sword
could destroy a source of Voldy's power? Maybe he'd have accepted that.
