Please forgive me if this has been discussed before -- wading through over a hundred 
thousand posts is a bit daunting...BUT has anyone here ever discussed
just what constitutes Dark Magic?

In the books we see plenty of scarey looking spells tossed around, including by mages 
who claim to be agin' Dark Magic.  James Potter's upside-down pantsing of Snape doesn't 
look very different from what the DEs were doing to the muggle Roberts family after the 
QWC.  And that Bat-Bogey Hex Ginny Weasley seems so adept at in OotP -- wowsers!!   
And nobody seems to scream "Dark Magic" whenever Draco's gang and The Trio start  
flipping hexes at one another.  What am I missing?


-cunning spirit - who apologizes for the ugly line breaks Yahoo seems to inflict on her 
posts no matter what she does.  I'm posting from a MAC using Safari.  I'm assuming that's 
my problem.....
