That is all very interesting, but shouldn't we be a bit troubled that the plagues are the most memorable part of our seder? Pharoah and his gang were certainly bad guys and I wasn't ashamed of my Shadenfreude when I heard about the locusts. The boils didn't even bother me, as long as I didn't have to see them. But killing the first born? That doesn't really fit with the remember-how-it-felt-so-don't-do-it-to-others spirit of Passover. Maybe it was just meant metaphorically.
Anyway, some of my best friends are Egyptians.
