Alla:
No, it is more like some of us (myself, since I cannot speak for
aybody else) do not equate it with real world slavery no matter who is
doing it Harry or anybody else. I do not feel a need to look for
additional word because I feel a need to not think of Harry as slave
owner. I feel a need to look for that word, because to me there are
enough differences to wish such word should exist no matter how many
similarities are there as well( Thank you SSSusan).
