Re: Goyle (father or son)

Gregory Goyle, Jr. (classmate of Draco Malfoy and son of Gregory Goyle, Sr.) suffers primarily from co-dependency; he refuses to act or even think for himself. Instead, he is almost never seen except as a hanger-on of Draco Malfoy. Even his choice to hang around Draco wasn't his own decision; instead, he was strongly encouraged to do so by his father (who had done the same with Draco's father Lucius back in his own school days). This co-dependence clearly weakens his character and was disappointing, especially to the Sorting Hat (which had recognized ambition and potential for greatness hidden under the thick shell of co-dependency).

Given all of that, it is obvious why Gregory Goyle, Jr. joined the Death Eaters as soon as humanly possible: when Lord Voldemort came back from the dead, Gregory Goyle, Sr. repeatedly pressured his son to join him on that path (after all, Gregory Goyle, Sr. had been an original Death Eater). Further, when Draco Malfoy began working for Voldemort, he would naturally need his hangers-on (including Gregory Goyle, Jr.) to do the same!
