me:
In fact, the Dark Mark is a mark of obedience and inferiority to *Lord* 
Voldemort, the Dark *Lord*.   Pettigrew often refers to V. as "master," which 
ironically suggests the same language the house elves use. 

Is anyone else creeped out by the servility of the Death Eaters' language?  I 
think this type of slavish behavior may be one of the contributors to 
Voldemort's fall, especially when the DE's realize they've been kissing the 
hem of a "half-blood's" cloak.
