We know that courage is one of the greatest virtues in the books and that SS hates to be called "coward".
I was wondering have we ever listed all the cowards in the books?
I propose Pettigrew as number one.  Lockhart as number two.  Dudley was also a coward, like all bullies tend to be.  Anyone who attacks a Muggle with magic, because they are weaker and magic is unexpected for them.  I guess that includes the twins, Hagrid and Bella (not to the same degree, of course).  Was Quirrell a coward?  Merope? Karakoff? Marietta?  Fudge?
