Has anyone else noticed that the Prophesies made by Trelawney use the 
title "The Dark Lord" rather than Voldemort or He Who Must Not Be 
Named?  This struck me as both odd and alarming.  Why would JKR 
choose to have her revelations coming from someone who sounds like a 
Death Eater instead of someone fighting against the "Dark Lord"?  JKR 
has stated that both she and Professor Trelawney worded the 
Prophesies very carefully.  A couple of out there questions come to 
mind:
1.) Is Trelawney ESE!Trelawney?  Possible . . . she keeps talking 
about everyone dying and horrible things happenning.
2.)  Is this the channeled spirit of a Death Eater?

Trelawney doesn't remember when she is making a true prophesy.  Who 
else doesn't remember what they've been doing: Ginny, when she's 
possessed by Tom Riddle in COS.  Interesting . . . very interesting, 
who or what is possessing Trelawney when she is making true 
prophesies.  Her use of the Dark Lord indicates that it is probably 
someone who followed Voldemort or at least believed his schtick.  
Could that someone be alive?  The prophesies are a key to the story 
line, and I truly believe that there must be one more to complete the 
group, why else would she still be around at the end of OOtP?  There 
is more of this swimming around in my brain, but the picture just 
isn't clear enough to write right now.
