Rodolphus seems to have a pretty low profile in the last two years
before Voldemort's final defeat, so perhaps he was able to
plea-bargain his way out of Azkaban, like Kakaroff before him...?<br>
<br>
Speaking of making bargains, and since you bring up the film's
Astronomy Tower scene -- Looking at Bella's big, pyromaniacal
presence in the sixth film, I can't help wondering if Helen
Bonham-Carter lobbied for a bigger role in it, over JKR's
objections...? (Just a hypothesis.)<br>
<br>
My big problem with Voldemort and Bella having a kid (aside from
the obvious "Eww" aspect) is that you'd think V would have deemed
it too risky. In his own mind, he's literally immortal, so no
need to "immortalize" oneself with an heir. So why risk siring a
potential future rival?<br>
