houyhnhnm:

You are saying that you imagine Bella's sensation when 
she is torturing someone into insanity is akin to what 
you feel when you watch your childrens play?  Well, fan 
my brow!  I'm speechless.  The banality of evil indeed!

I still don't see any sure way that "grim satisfaction" 
can be distinguished from Voldemort's "sense of purpose 
and power and rightness", so I still consider it Dark.
