"...the Dark Lord" said the Death Eater

Has anyone noticed how ONLY Death Eaters or dark wizards/witches refer 
to Lord Voldemort as "The Dark Lord"? I was rereading OotP and that 
happens a lot, particularly with Snape. For example, during the 
Occlumency lessons he barks at Harry a few times when Harry says 
Voldemort's name, and tells him not to. Yes, Snape was a DE, but he's 
had over a decade to lose that habit if he had really crossed to the 
side of good.

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned already. It's been bugging me and 
felt I had to post it, not much time to check all the "Snape is/isn't 
evil" posts. :)

This isn't really the case.  Ginny Weasley, Dobby, Trelawney and others use the phrase as well.  I was actually quite surprised how many people, other than DEs, do use it, on my last read through of the whole series.
