Quote:Actually, Doug is specifically _not_ a Muggle - he may not use magic the way they are used to, but there's no denying that he uses magic - how else could he be a teacher at Hogwarts? OTOH, he may be called a Muggle by those who don't like him, using it as a derrogotory remark.
not only is Doug essentially a Muggle, he's more specifically an -American-.
Re: Mudblood scene - yes, that's exactly what I would expect Doug to do.
Quote:Actually, I disaggree - Draco is evil, albeit not necessarilly as bad as his father. He is very selfish, he mostly doesn't care how other people feel about what he's done to them (and when he does it's often glee at their discomfort), and most of all he's convinved that he's _right_. This is nto to say that he doesn't have any redeeming features, but on the whole he's definitely over the edge of acceptability.
Of course, none of this should be taken as suggesting that Draco -isn't- a poisonous, snobby, obnoxious little shit, just that, like Snape, that doesn't make him -evil-.
As for Slytherin, I'm fairly certain you're mostly correct - he certainly started off as a good guy, and my guess is that he was more like a "Darth Vader"-type individual. Caught in the trap of his situation, yet still with a good heart buried somewhere in there. And yes, I do think he would not be happy with his legacy, especially the whole Voldamort situation...
I have no idea if Bob's ever gonna go anywhere with the DW-HP notes that are accumulating, but I'm having fun reading and writing them, so why not continue
