Okay, gotcha. Sorry. I'm now looking at the "spidery writing". For some 
reason, I looked right past "Dark Lord" when reading. Blurry vision, 
probably. Still, I'm not sold it made sense for LV to get it himself and 
risk exposing himself once the snake trick failed. Not with his 
"understanding" of Harry's penchant for heroics. Employeeing DEs does seem 
the safest, most discreet strategy at that point. Not to simplify things 
needlessly, but I don't want to over analyze too much either. Thanks for 
getting me to look and think about it again.
