Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it and that it made you think. I, too, like my characters flawed - that makes them all the more real, I think. I wasn't interested in Dolohov before, I will confess, until I got the prompt and began to explore the pairings. And, while I am very partial to Flitwick, I knew he must have been as human as the rest. I, too, had noticed Filius's conspicuous absence from the order, and knew that there must have been a story there. :-)
