A Harry Potter question

[fpb]

It seems to me that there is a tendency among fic writers to assume that, even if the Dark Lord is defeated, the Malfoys will somehow wiggle through and remain an influential family. Is it only my impression, or does anyone else notice the same thing?

One thing that springs to mind is that Hagrid's wand was not taken away. It was snapped in two and the pieces given back to him. The scene at Olivander's in PS/SS seems to me to make it all quite clear. The pieces are in the pink umbrella. All the same, yes, there must be quite a few people who suffered similar punisments and are disgruntled.
