A thought about Prof. Trelawney

Hmm, now I'm going to have to go back and read all the books again 
for any reference to Voldermort.  Somehow, I don't think Trelawney is 
a bad guy, but it does give you pause...of course, I have quite a few 
questions about Voldermort's name all together.  Like who started the 
whole "He who must not be named" and "You know who".  To me, it seems 
like that bit started in Voldermort's camp as a way to increase 
fear.  Either that, or Voldermort's name has more meaning than we 
already know - that speaking his name is a way to curse him or 
something (I know, I know - that's way out in left field somewhere).

Still, there may be something to the Dark Lord thing, but then 
Professor Trelawney wasn't exactly herself when she was calling him 
the Dark Lord, was she?
