Ceridwen:
I mentioned one, but this isn't exactly a moment I identify with, it 
was just a surreal moment.

When Harry and Voldy are facing off in "The Flaw in the Plan", they 
suddenly start discussing Snape's potential love life.  The first time 
I read it, it was Harry revealing what should have been terrifying news 
to LV, but reading it again, it just suddenly seemed almost ludicrous.  
The whole world stopped to hear that Snape loved Lily, and Voldemort 
apparently had a heart-to-heart with him about other women afterwards.

"He desired her, that was all," sneered Voldemort, "but when she had 
gone, *he agreed that there were other women, and of purer blood, 
worthier of him --*" (page 740 US, asterisks for attention, not italics)

Snape agreed - so Voldy must have talked with him.

Weird.

Ceridwen.
