Carolyn:
Well, we are back to Spying Game I and II are we not? Just how 
stupid is Voldie, or is he really a master of deep bluff and counter 
bluff?? Could well believe he has a highly unpleasant range of 
controls operating over his DEs, but both his 'slippery friend' and 
Wormtail still seem to imagine they can negotiate or evade him in 
some respects.

And how successful could a completely paranoid killer be in 
understanding the way DD's mind works? 

It would be fascinating if she really was investigating such 
subtleties of terrorism, surveillance and control, though hope is 
currently at a low ebb. I fear that she is as surprised at reader 
cynicism about DD as she is shocked at Snape worship.

Carolyn, definitely in favour of all the old forms of man-management.
