Quote:Probably because the only two wizards we've seen who weren't particularly poor (well, aside from Hermione, who never makes much of the fact that a pair of medical professionals must make oodles) were Malfoy and Harry.
Odd. I'm trying to figure out why I interpreted your comment in only that way...
Quote:Cruciatus. Imperious. At least for the sorts as I'd imagine Snape's folks were.
I would imagine so, when young wizards' and witches' powers are often quite... imaginative when inadequately controlled and they are under stress. I suspect that the gift of magic is a great leveller in that regard.
Quote:Well, obviously the particular provocation would have to be something that not only -pushes- his buttons, but outright -leans- on them. Possibly involving Malfoy, and House Elves.
Yes, that would be quite workable. Although I think I'd better get to work on making it clear that Doug isn't all that unstable and out-of-control... Events in the BGC world have just been, well, stressful...
Blessed be.
