Alla:

Thanks for the support. :o) Please, don't get me wrong, I am most 
definitely interested in how Bella fits in the narrative, which JKR 
weaves. I want to know more about Black family. I hope that Andromeda 
and Regilus are still alive and want to meet them, etc. What I am NOT 
interested in is learning the circumstances, which could supposedly 
make me justify Bella, feel pity for her, etc.

To me - she is a one - note crasy villainous character. There could a 
sobbing story behind her becoming a DE, but as I said earlier, I just 
don't care.

To me, at that point of the narrative, she already crossed the line. 
There can be nothing, which can make me change my opinion about her.
