Now Me (Erin) Again:
  Well, this is just getting grosser by the minute, but I've gotta 
say it: Just because he didn't specifically mention his lust doesn't 
mean he didn't have it.  In fact maybe that WAS a declaration of his 
lust.  Voldy doesn't seem to me to be the kind of person who wants to 
be desired.  He's said what he wants: to be feared.  So wouldn't it 
be more logical for him to just TAKE what he wanted in terms of 
female companionship?  When he's the most powerful wizard in the 
world, he can take *whatever* he wants.  Yuck!
  And even if he did long for women to desire him, he'd likely never 
admit to that, especially to Harry.  He'd see it as a weakness to be 
concealed.
