Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I especially liked that although the Malfoys were still bad, they cared more about their son than anything else in the world. Which made them kinda good, at least as parents.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fred Weasley got most of the good lines allotted to the twins, so I reckon The Author never intended him to survive, alas.
I figure she knew long in advance that Fred had a deathmark on him, and so kept giving him the best lines as an apology.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Yep, diving.
