Re: He who must not be named (a question)

Hubby and I were watching PoA last night on the Family Channel when he
turned to me and asked "Why aren't you supposed to say Voldemort's
name? Why do you have to refer to him as you-know-who?"

And I honestly didn't have an answer for him.

Could someone give me the reason(s) so I can share them with him?


[snipped excellent responses]

Thank you all for your enlightening answers to my original question -
you have given both hubby and I much to think about.
