^ Few Minions?!?!?!?! The Death Eaters are way more than a few!!!
Bellatrix, Rodulphus, Lucius, Draco, Snape, Avery, Mulciber, Alecto, Amycus....
The Dementors, The Giants...
I think Voldy is the main male villain. I mean, [book 7] Harry called Snape 'The man he hated as much as Voldemort himself' and Bellatrix, well, he used the Cruciatus Curse on her!

For the traitor thing, I don't think Percy is one. He's just a ministry-loving, family-disowning, power-hungry moron.
Snape is the real traitor, but in a good way.
Peter is another traitor - but him in the bad way!

Yeah, true. I had just made a pick question about Percy so he was on the brain. Yeah, Peter is the main traitor in the way I was speaking of.
