Looking over this excellent archive of acronyms, I did note that we 
have none for Lord Voldemort.  Since much debate centers on 
Voldemort's credibility as a literary character, it seems these two 
opposing schools of thought should be given name.  Those who find the 
Dark Lord a supervillain of and for our time ally themselves with

VIABLE 

Voldemort Is A Believable Likeness of Evil

VIABLE is relentlessly opposed by their arch-enemies (who regard 
Voldemort a mere pulp-fiction construct), the VICE SQUAD 

Voldemort is an Improbable Caricature of Evil who Seems Quaint and 
Unsophisticated instead of Authentically Demonic 

I wrote a filk over this debate a few months back with Voldemort (of 
course) arguing his own side, and Harry as the spokesman for what is 
now the VICE SQUAD.

Personally, I'm allied with VIABLE.
