AmanitaMuscaria now : A bit like Dumbledore addressing Voldemort as 
Tom, then? It's establishing the relationship as one between not-
equals. Friends use the first name or nickname, others use last name, 
strangers use title and last name, out of respect the honorific is 
used, but adults call children by their first name.
