a_svirn:
Then why is he not a daemon/demon? If he has this ability I'd say 
he's very much of one. On the other hand, he himself said in OOP 
that he is NOT able to possess people. Of course, he could have been 
unaware of his own powers, but since Dumbledore did not correct him 
on the point, he was probably in the right of it.

a_svirn:

What distinction? Were there any demons in the Garden of Eden?

a_svirn:

I don't know about "ordinarily", but any number of witches was 
burned at the stake for not only touching demons, but having sexual 
relationship with them and bearing them children.
