I don't know. I mean, he isn't really beastly to anyone, not even Dennis, no matter what he said - he doesn't like hurting people, not like some people, so he doesn't do it if he can help it. But I don't know if he thinks that all mudbloods are people or if it's just me. Or maybe if it's just mudbloods he knows. Because sometimes he says awful things about mudbloods, but he's never been awful personally. I can't decide if that's worse or better than people who are just mean about it all the time. It's like if a person was always saying, 'oh, I hate Slytherins, but I like you.' Do you really think they can actually be your friend?? Only, isn't it better for them to like you than to hate you?? I don't know.

I'm quite certain Harry's afraid of his father sometimes, but not always. I mean sometimes he forgets that his father can be beastly. Because, almost, he doesn't think of being beastly, so he doesn't think other people would either, not just for fun or because someone did something they didn't like. But then something happens to remind him, you see?

If I were Hydra I'd be afraid of her mother, I mean, I am afraid of her, and I'm not even Hydra!
