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).
