Really?  I thought his behavior throughout was pretty despicable.  At 
the end, when Draco threatened, quite seriously, to kill Harry, I 
thought that pretty much confirmed what JKR has in mind for him.  He's 
a bad egg.  The fact that Lucius is in jail due in part to Harry only 
gives Draco real fuel against him now, which was well done.  I'd have 
to say that any money I had in the Redeemed!Draco bank is being 
withdrawn at this time.

Ah, Professor Umbridge.  What a bitch.  She is eerily similar to many 
of the bureaucrats running around the Dept of Education here in NYC: 
the constant, intrusive observations, the eagerness to discipline and 
pull rank at any opportunity, the complete lack of understanding of 
curriculum, the quickness to quell any opposition...  She was a little 
too real for me: only here in NYC, the bureaucrats don't get the shit 
beaten out of them by centaurs.  They get $100,000 raises.

BTW, did anyone else snicker when Petunia asked Dudley "Did he use - 
his *thing*?"?

I have some big questions but will save them for when the main list 
opens up again.
