I agree that Teddy's and Narcissa's original player had a great sense of the dynamic, and if you look on AO3 there's actually a piece of Teddy fanfic she wrote that is really quite good. I think she and I clashed on Lucius and Narcissa's dynamic rather a lot, though, or more than she wanted, and I know that she had issues with the "level of detail" and background worldbuilding that other players (like me) wanted to infuse into the story.
Which is ironic, considering how detailed we wound up getting on some plots. I did think that original Crouch, Reg, and Michael were also good voices to have had, and I never really felt like I did justice to Michael afterward.
Speaking only from my personal perspective, I think Pansy's player's difficulty was an over-reliance and over-indulgence for impulse play - that is, she may or may not have had a plan, she verbally committed to trying to fit her character into the lines better - but then in the moment of play she would impulsively 'improvise' in ways that were not necessarily consistent with what she'd agreed to before. It made play very frustrating, and we were often concerned that Pansy was bringing up what we thought of as "year 6 issues" right at the beginning of the game.
It also looks to me like these early posts were setting up Pansy/Ron - or at least that Pansy had a bit of a crush on him.
