No...I'm confused how you would have interpreted that from my 
comments....I was saying that even WORSE than a date rape drug would 
be a "drug" or magic spell that would make someone think they were in 
love with someone else...coercing not just the body, but the mind, 
spirit, and imagination.....

Therefore, what Merope did was absolutely, totally, morally wrong...

As JKR said, Voldemort was conceived by force......

Susan now: I guess this is an area of disagreement. Romantic love 
does not always lead to sex. Someone might be in love, and not want 
to have sex for many, many reasons....What is true E? Ecstasy? That 
lowers in the inhibitions and makes someone sexually aroused....but 
again, that means that someone is more inclined to have sex...but 
that doesn't mean the person WILL have sex.....

Because there are obvious analogies......so I make connections, and 
then remind myself that the two worlds are not the same....
