This is interesting.  What do the original U.S. and British editions say?  I
have a later U.S. edition and it says "one more murder. . . my faithful
servant at Hogwarts."  Does the uncorrected (for the priori incantatum
scene) U.S. edition say the same?  If so, it may just be a U.S. modification
so we silly Americans won't think Voldemort wants to call someone a bad
name.  If the British was changed to murder it may have been an error.
Anybody have early and late editions to compare?
