    From the Pensieve chapter of GoF:

"    Dumbledore shook his head. "Curiosity is not a sin," he
said. "But we should exercise caution with our curiosity. . . yes,
indeed ..."

    Frowning slightly, he prodded the thoughts within the basin
with the tip of his wand.

    Instantly, a figure rose out of it, a plump, scowling girl of
about sixteen, who began to revolve slowly, with her feet still
in the basin. She took no notice whatsoever of Harry or Professor
Dumbledore. When she spoke, her voice echoed as Snape's had done,
as though it were coming from the depths of the stone basin. 'He put
a hex on me, Professor Dumbledore, and I was only teasing him, sir,
I only said I'd seen him kissing Florence behind the greenhouses
last Thursday. . . .'"

Doreen, who notices that most HPFGU members refer to Voldemort as "V" 
or "Voldie" and giggles, thinking, "Are they afraid to say his name 
as well?"
