Or is it because this monster was, after all, once just another 
Hogwarts student and DD taught him? He may be You-Know-Who to
everyone else, but for DD, he was just that sneaky kid who turned out 
no good. 
For some reason, this scene reminds me strangely of the scene in the 
original Star Wars where Obi-Wan confronts his former pupil (this was 
before we found out, of course, that Darth Vader was once Anakin 
Skywalker and I don't think even Lucas had worked it out at the
time, so Obi-Wan called him Darth). 
I was almost expecting DD to get killed and come back as part of the 
Force! : - ) Perhaps it may happen yet, who knows? Sue B
