Aye, he does look mad, but Magnus Pyke looked really mad. I mean... not just like he was a bit tapped, he looked as if here were the completely genuine article. Someone simply looking like a one hundred percent drooling, copper-bottomed lunatic shouldn't make you hate them. Some of our most dearly regarded figures {like Spike Milligan for instance - unless, of course, he'd just shot or stabbed you} have not only been mad looking but actually behaved in a pretty bizarre and generally unhinged fashion in their day to day day lives as well.
Mind you, apart from the loony bit I think I agree with you about Fox. I'm not sure that anyone would ever regard him as "dearly regarded". Apart from his mum, and I'm not even sure about that. She probably knows that he'd declare war on her if there was anything in it for him.
