Actually, considering how much discussion I'd seen /before/ OotP 
regarding whether calling Voldemort "Dark Lord" meant anything and if 
so what... my first thought upon reading Harry's question to Snape on 
the subject was that JKR might be picking on us a bit. Of course, I 
suppose the fact that the question was never answered leaves things 
up for debate. 

As does the fact that technically, unless Harry is accusing the dwarf 
who delivered the singing valentine, his claim to have only heard 
Death Eaters use the term isn't accurate.... ;)
