Pansy and Minerva are my favourites, too. Pansy, oh yes - I never liked JKR's treatment of the Slytherins. They are more than a bunch of over-ambitious cowards, and they, too, care about those they love. The whole attitude of DH was that it was all right for the end to justify the means as long as you were a Gryffindor. And that's a scary way to claim a morally higher ground.
