It has always bothered me that in the last chapter of PS/SS Quirrell
says Voldemort's name.

"Tried to frighten me--as though he could, when I had Lord Voldemort
on my side..."   p290 U.S. pb

And then again on the next page:

"A foolish young man I was then, full of ridiculous ideas about good
and evil.  Lord Voldemort showed me how wrong I was."

Why, when Death Eaters won't even say his name, can a young professor
with Vapormort on the back of his head say it without any sign of fear
whatsoever?  There is no "Dark Lord" business, no trace of a cringe or
sign on pain...what, frankly, is the deal?
