a_svirn:
That's sort of what I think myself. But that's a kind of explanation 
that prompts further questions. Like what if there are other creatures, 
persons and charms that were labelled dark unjustly? Even more ominous: 
what if there are charms or potions that *should* have been proclaimed 
dark, but weren't for some opportunistic reason? In short, what if Dark 
Magic is what the Ministry says it is? If so, we can safely dismiss the 
notion.
