What /is/ going on with Voldemort and Bellatrix? I know we don't have 
a lot of canon on Mrs. Lestrange, but what does everyone think? Is it 
really a romantic involvement, one of those "intellectual-affairs," 
or just a deep, deep admiration? I think it would be hard to carry on 
an affair under the nose of her husband and brother-in-law, but that 
could also relate to the arranged wizard marriage argument. I lot of 
people think there's something weird between the two. I'm not sure if 
there are subtle clues in canon, our suspicious natures, or if it's 
just a common theme in fanfiction. (And, forgive me, but the evil 
dark lord master and his witchy wench sounds a little too close to 
kinky role play for me to ignore the relationship completely.)

My reply:

Well, to answer your question.  There is some cannon to back it up in some ways.  For example, we don't know what happened to Lestrange.  Did he die?  Is he there but just doesn't talk?  Honestly, if he is still around I think it is clear who holds the cards in that relationship and it's Bellatrix.  

Voldemort seems to care for Bella more than some of the other Death Eaters.  He calls her Bella, not just Lestrange or something degrading.  However, so does Lucius, so that does not mean much.  But Lucius probably does see Bella as a sister so that could be why.  

Now there is the whole reasoning for him coming into the Ministry of Magic the night of Sirius' death.  He (Voldie) may have just come to deal with Harry, but I'm not sure if that is truly the case.  I think part of him came to protect Bellatrix.  It was also during that scene where Harry, building up with anger started to use unforgivable curses.  I think deep down part of Voldie was afraid that he was going to loose his "most faithful death eater."  

And instead of leaving her lying there on the ground.  Instead of sending her to Azkaban (I'm sure he had other servants that were not there...actually we know he had at least one!)  He made sure to grab her on his way out.  

Yes, it can be read into more than is there.  But there is something special about there relationship.  And there is some reason why Bella is a death eater when the other women are not.  Voldie does't seem like he would be big on woimen's rights.  I could be wrong about that though!
