You know, I'd dearly love to hear Bellatrix Lestrange's story---how 
it was that she became what she now is.  If it's true that you "have 
to mean" the Cruciatus Curse, then what was it that teed her off that 
badly?  

I mean---I have serious anger issues myself (as I've said before and 
will say again, in Harry's boots I could have Cruciatus'd Bella to a 
crackly crunch, no problem) even I would have to work myself up to 
it.  She seems to be able to Cruciatus people she's never met before 
that did nothing to her or to anybody she cares about *cough Neville 
cough cough*---so where does she get that apparent bottomless well of 
rage?

It can't be from being tossed into Azkaban, since she was apparently 
the DEs' Cruciatus specialist before Godric's Hollow.  So---what do 
you think got her so furious at the world?  *grin* Was Rabastan 
_that_ lousy a husband?
