LOL, pure speculation is fine. I just wanted to make sure it was
speculation and that I didn't simply miss some obvious things in the
text. :D
I think, as Lynda pointed out in another response to this, what you
described as a possibility definitely *fits* with what we know of DD;
thus, it wouldn't be a surprise if it were the truth. I just think
that it also could fit with the DD we know that the *other* option
was the truth: that he truly didn't feel it was best or right to use
Unforgivables/Dark Magic.
