No, he wasn't completely mad, Miss Lovegood.

I believe he was trying, in his way, to open people's eyes. It's not at all fair, what happened to him, and to the extent that I may have brought him to my enemies' attention, I'm truly very sorry.

Please accept my condolences, and then follow your prefects' advice and ignore everything here .... It may seem very confusing but really, my conversation with my brother has little to do with your father or his memory.
