Thank You Carol for your insight. As always and as I had expected it
was thoughtfully presented. I feel as I have said previously that JK
dropped the ball for the Death Eaters, well the entire war and rise of
Voldemort actually. I know the books are from Harry's POV only, well
aside from the first chapter in DH. I really want to see her
encyclopedia released and soon. Personally I have written a family
history of the LeStrange's. In my world their fathers name is Rupert
(To keep with a slightly "Charmed" feel of the world with the "R"
names) and their mothers name is Iris to contrast with the peaceful
Lily Evans Potter. They live at LeStrange Court, because their name
sounds French and Marie Antoinette and other French nobility held
court... But thats my imagination, I really want to know what JK has
to say on the subject. I went to the post-DH webchat with the intent
on getting this very question answered by the creator herself. The
closest I got was someone asking if Bella really loved Roddy or
Voldy... Sigh...  I can't really be mad at JK for ignoring the
LeStranges completely because Roddy is mentioned in DH but Rabby isn't
so that makes me a bit perturbed...
