Kethryn now -
If you go with the sexual interpretation and say that Snape represents the
darker side of sex (I think that's a bit too broad, I would narrow it down
to say that he represents the darker side of desire that he has to fight),
then Bella represents a dominatrix.  And, like all good doms, she plays sub
as well, sub to Voldemort for sure...maybe sub to Lestrange as well
(although I tend to doubt that).

Kethryn who has a calculus final in *EEEK* an hour.  I will expand on this
idea if there is interest.
