Hmmm, maybe the "Dark Lord" mentioned in the prophecy isn't Voldemort but Dumbledore instead. Dumbledore has Voldemort beat in the evil category already when this fic started, but seriously outclassed him as soon as he defended the rapists and their actions. He wasn't even disgusted when he learned of what Snape did, only worried about their reputations being destroyed.
Looking forward to the next update!

- That's one way of looking at it I guess. I just hope that I don't tic too many people off with my final resolution to the Tommy problem...
