Now Susan:
I do not speak a second language but there are many people here in 
the US from other countries.  Could it be possible, since the Blacks 
are obviously French, that it is just the way Bellatrix translates 
what she is saying from French to English?  Just wondered.  I could 
be getting confused because Jim Dale uses a heavy french accent when 
he does Bellatrix's voice.
