Mandy here:
Very suitable indeed...
My thread about Harry and Bellatrix was laid low because I was 
practically lynched, for daring to suggest the existence of sexual 
desire between a woman and, what American's consider, a minor. 
(Harry, at 16, is still a minor in the US, although a consenting 
adult in Britain.)  Some members were terrified the site might be 
shut down or something, so we dropped it. 

But.....::wicked grin:: 

Well Owl post from Hell never hurt anyone, right?

For those who missed it, I said before that Harry is undoubtedly 
attracted to Bellatrix in more ways than one.  Not just because she 
killed Sirius, which is prime drive now, but he also demonstrated 
that the he seemed very drawn to her picture in the Prophet.  She 
represents all that is dark and dangerous to Harry in a very 
different way from LV.  We, also know he is not afraid of her, or in 
enough control of his senses to stop himself from chasing her down, 
and falling right in to LV's arms. 

Until Bellatrix, the series was missing a dangerous, attractive, 
older woman who represents the darker, manipulative side of 
sexuality to the teens.  Although we did breifly glimps this in the 
Veela and Fleur Delacour in GoF.  Every school has that 
one `sexy/attractive' teacher, who is the older crush the boys fall 
in love with.  Hogwarts doesn't have one, yet, so unless the new 
DADA teacher fills this vacancy (Fleur anyone?), Bellatrix will do 
very well indeed. For Harry if not the others.  Very exciting!   

We will see a show-down between them the two of them and I think he 
will find her irresistible. I personally, would like to see Voldy!
Salazar use Bellatrix to draw Harry in. She is one of only two Death 
Eaters left, and she holds Harry in the palm of her hand with 
Sirius' death.  Why wouldn't a woman such as Bella take advantage of 
his youth and vulnerability?

What was it I said Harry would say in my last post? "Shall I kill 
her...or kiss her before I kill her." 

Thanks for bringing this up again.
Cheers, Mandy.
