And on the theme of storge:

"The role of storge love; what is the hold that affectionate love has
on humans? At what point does this kind of love cease to be love and
becomes instead a demon?"


vmonte responds:

Kind of sounds like what's in the room at the DoM.  

page 843, U.S. version

"There is a room in the Department of Mysteries," interrupted 
Dumbledore, "that is kept locked at all times. It contains a force 
that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than 
human intelligence, than forces of nature."

The love a parent has for their child is about the strongest love 
there is.  You could say that the wrath of a parent, when protecting 
their child, can be equally demonic.
