It's one thing to know he's done awful things. It's another to see the details on what specific awful things he's done.
Mr Selwyn, too.
Although -- Mr Selwyn killed all those people, but then he also tried to kill the Lord Protector. Nothing's ever simple. (Well, I guess that's not quite true. There are some people we know who are just evil through and through, like Bellatrix Lestrange. And the Carrows back when they were alive. But mostly it seems to be a little more complicated than that.)
It's a little like Dolohov. I knew he'd done terrible things. I knew he'd killed people (including Mrs Weasley's brothers). It was still a shock to see him that way.
