One use of "Dark Lord" I particularly recall was in Ginny's singing 
Valentine (delivered by a grumpy "cupid"). It ended:
"I wish he were mine/The hero who conquered the Dark Lord."
Was she using it poetically, as a neutral term, or was she calling 
Voldie that reverently, because of the influence of Riddle's diary? 
Just a thought.
