They owned over half of the valley that the town of Little Hangleton lay in, and Thomas was the most prominent inhabitant of that town.

They should have taken Harry's broom. Because they hadn't done that Harry had been able to get past the wards before his watcher – a role Mundungus had fulfilled that night – had been able to stop him.

[8] She elaborated that he is a "raging psychopath, devoid of the normal human responses to other people's suffering", and whose only ambition in life is to become all-powerful and immortal. He is also a sadist who hurts and murders people—especially Muggles—for his own amusement. He has no conscience, feels no remorse or empathy, and does not recognise the worth and humanity of anybody except himself. [41] Victory was so close he could taste it. Just one last step, one last response to seal the boy's fate....

It was foolish really. Either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives. Yes, but what if one wasn’t surviving?
