And the really evil people all have French names so they're easy to spot.

I didn't say all the people with French names were really evil. I said, all the really evil people had French names (Voldemort, Lestrange, Malfoy).

What about Dumbledore's erstwhile friend, didn't he have a Germanic name? Which I, of course, cannot remember.

I can't remember it either, but I was referring to major characters that we follow from book to book. It's one reason I felt all along that Snape wasn't evil .

Fair enough. I guess the Blacks were either all redeemed or dead or used their married names. Crabbe and Goyle?

Crabbe and Goyle?

I'd call them flunkies rather than proactively evil.

Yeah, I was thinking of them as henchmen myself, but I thought I'd throw them out for completeness's sake.

Of course, Goyle might very well be meant to imply a gargoyle, which would be another French image.
