I've answered these with a bit more candour than I think Bob would actually have, since it's no fun to interview someone who's hiding everything. I also made up a family history for him.

77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? Most likely helping Harry with one of his hare-brained schemes and/or watching the children while he hatches one of his hare-brained schemes.
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? As I am already dead, I think the point is moot. It is more what I would NOT wish to be remembered by.
59. What do you look for in a potential lover? Again, a moot point, but were I corporeal, I would look for intelligence, wit, and nice legs.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them. If you can count the time after my death 'growing up', I was quite impressed by my first owner. He was an intelligent man, with a set of morals I have rarely seen in other owners and a very flashy dresser. In my actual childhood, I looked up to my brother and the man whom I apprenticed for my wizarding education.
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? I had an elder brother, who, while not as strong in magic as myself, was extremely bright and a far better student than I. From what I gather, he lived a good life with a good family. I never saw him again after my imprisonment. I had a younger sister, as well, who died shortly after she was born.
48. What do you believe makes a successful life? I used to thing it was doing something that reaches beyond the knowledge or expectations of others and being unafraid of the consequences. It is now my belief that it is a far better life to have humbler expectations and live long enough to reap the rewards of one's achievements.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? My father died suddenly when I was a boy, not long after my sister, and, twice struck, my mother was never much herself again. I was as close to her as she would allow us to get. My uncle came to stay with us and he and I were often at odds over small things, but close in others. My brother and I were also close, until he left home to apprentice. We did not have as much contact after that and grew apart.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened? When Winnifred was dying.
32. What is your greatest regret? I should think that would be obvious.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? I trust Harry. He has formed an unnatural attachment to me, for whatever reason, and I've no doubt he would do foolish things to keep me 'safe'. He would do foolish things to keep anyone safe. I expect the children would do similar, as they are being raised to be just as foolish as him.
