Nice list...hated Percy Wetmore and Wormtail.:-&...

You could make a whole list just from Harry Potter what with Filtch and Umbridge and both Croutches. But also, one of my go to weasels is Kraven from Underworld. Not sure if you are a fan but based on your system I'd give him +10 points on the weasel scale.
