Apologies if someone has said this before....I'm desperately trying to keep 
up with the posts, but want to reply before I lose my idea.

Dumbledore has told Harry to not be afraid to use people's names before.  
There was (I believe) something right after that about avoiding Voldemorts 
true name only instills more fear.   (I don't have the books right here to 
quote from.)  The reason people flinch so much when they hear "Voldemort" is 
because that makes him more real, somehow.  I think that Dumbledore sees and 
respects the magical abilities that Voldemort has, but doesn't respect the 
way in which he uses those powers.  Calling him "Lord Voldemort" does two 
things.  Respects him for the talent, but also drives away some of the power 
and fear that surrounds him.

who really must try to write more about her class subjects than she does 
about HP :P
