Annemehr:
Eh, no. Rather the opposite.

Annemehr:
Percy I see as having been (until the last battle) misguided, but really trying to do the right thing.  And human egos in the family dynamic made things worse.

Lockhart is indeed *very* creepy.  Not in controlling people, but in the way he used them with no regard for them as people.  We saw the effect of the spell he aimed at Ron and Harry.  I wonder how it compares to the memory charms he inflicted on all those other people who "contributed" to his books.
