mel:
This is where I stand on the issue as well. What I wonder about 
really though is why Phineas Nigellus uses the term "Dark Lord".
I never thought much about Dobby's use of it, and Snape really *has* 
to use it, but Phineas?

Chapter 23 pg 496 US ed.
"No. No, like all young people, you are quite sure that you alone 
feel and think, you alone recognise danger, you alone are the only 
one clever enough to realise what the Dark Lord may be planning -"

Maybe it's just from hanging around (sorry about the pun, I really 
did try to think of a better way of putting this) Grimmaud with the 
Black family ranting and raving about 'Dark Lord this' and 'Dark Lord 
that', but it struck me right out of the gate, moreso than when 
anyone else in the books has used it.

Mel who wants the Phineas Nigellus chapter of Hogwarts, A History.
