I like Greyback - and this - reading as 'chilling', so thanks very much.:D
I know JKR had to be careful about the implications of Greyback (his liking for biting kids and eating people's faces being slightly dodgy bedtime reading material for mums and dads, I imagine?), but when he actually turns up in the books he always seems a bit of a let-down. Whereas I like the idea of this very simple but cunning and brutal man, who won't abide by normal rules, and therefore is very difficult for someone like Remus to outwit purely by intelligence alone. Especially when beset by doubts himself. One of my few glimmers of joy from DH was the werewolves not turning up at the end (though she probably forgot them;)), as I thought at least we can argue he might just have made the vital difference there...
Thanks again! (Do you think Nicholas Cage, bulked up, would perfect in the role...;))
