"How come I saw through the snake's eyes if it's Voldemort's thoughts I'm sharing?" [HP speaking] "Do not say the Dark Lord's name!" spat Snape.

Bellatrix refers to him as "the" Dark Lord as well in OotP.  "I was and am the Dark Lord's most loyal servant." "The Dark Lord, walk into the Ministry of Magic....The Dark Lord, reveal himself to the Aurors...."

"How come Voldemort wants it?" [HP] Several of the DEs let out low hisses. 'You dare speak his name?' whispered Bellatrix. "Yeah,' said Harry, ' Yeah, I've got no problemwith sayig Vol---' "Shut your mouth!; Bellatrix shrieked, 'You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood's tongue you dare ----"
