I see spineless!Bellatrix more in RPGs than in fan fiction. I've seen her many times played as a weak, soft, delicate flower who leans heavily on Rodolphus (and most often times Lucius, as well) and it just makes me go twitch. And the PBs wound me. I've seen her portrayed by anyone from Angelina Jolie to Liv Tyler.

I hate the idea that because Peter is a bad guy (and not a 'hawt' one, like Lucius) that he's somehow the lowest of the low and worth nothing but disgust. I love Peter, and I love him as he is, which is a brave - if self serving - villian who has more balls than most of the Death Eaters.
