This is a somewhat meta-related fact, but it was in GOF, at the end, 
when Barty Crouch Jr. began to reveal himself to Harry and used the 
term "Dark Lord" that I realized how terribly wrong something was 
going. It was done in such a way as to be almost a throwaway thing, 
in passing. She is very good at flooding a scene with actions and 
facts and dialogue so that a telling clue can be lost in the mix. I 
realize that the whole thing was resolved in just a few pages, but 
she built up to the resolution in a very skillfully dramatic fashion 
so that just as Harry is having that "OH NO!" moment of horror, we 
were as well.
