The only law in the new order it to please Lord Voldemort and you are punished for displeasing Lord Voldemort. Any talk of a new order was simply talk. Malfoys were also evil, probably L or N. Still, unlike You-Know-Who, they understodd love even if it was just for their own family and that is what saved Potter and helped cause the downfall of You-Know-Who. Actually, I think it saved him twice. Not only did Malfoy's mother feign harry's death to reach and aid her son, but earlier, Draco seemed unable to pick out Harry, Ron, and Herminone standing right in front of him. Harry was sort of messed up but Herminone was still recognizable to the point that people who had never seen here recognised her from photos. Even his answers were uncharacterisitically wishy washy. If he really didn't know he probably would have yelled at Fafnir and his bunch. At that moment, I think Draco was running the situation through his head. Weiging the option of turning in Potter versus not as to which would be the best for his family in the light of a chaotic LV who would erase all past accomplishments and service and kill a faithful follower for the slightest error.Similarly, Snape loved Lily and did all his actions for her including helping Harry. Even if he didn't like Harry (and I don't think he did), he still did it out of selfless love for another, even if she was long dead. Once again, he understood love which Voldemort could not. In AD&D terms, I think that love for another is pretty much good, and acts done due to it would be good acts.Still, an important thing to remember is that evil people can commit good acts and good people can commit evil acts. Harry attempted to cast an unforgivable curse or two. Evil characters still showed love for others, even when not returned. Still, in the newer, kinder D&D, that probably makes them merely evil, while Voldemort would be Vile as he was incapable of even understanding why somebody would commit one of those redeaming acts, and thus could not imagine that Snape would betray him for the love of a dead girl or that the Malfoys might turn on him to save their son.</blockquote>
