Del :
I have to disagree. I'm very accustomed to those flares of anger. 
I've seen them again and again, both in myself and in others. As you 
say, they come when one is annoyed about something and momentarily 
less in control than usual, for whatever reason. They are incredibly 
normal and natural, and there's no need for an evil possession to 
explain them.

JKR makes it very clear that the feelings LV creates in Harry are 
very different : they *truly* come out of the blue, they never have 
*anything* to do with Harry's present circumstances.
