I kind of agree.  There is a part in the battle scene where Harry 
first mentions Voldemort's name and she licks her lips.  A ship 
between them sounds way too horrible to me and I can't imagine it in 
this nice light of day, but there's something very sick and twisted 
about Bellatrix.  Whether there is any return of affection from 
Voldemort I don't know (and rather doubt) but I can definitely 
imagine Bellatrix lusting after him.
