PS. If the Love Shield does exist in MoR, do you suppose Bellatrix could cast it?

If Love Shields really do work the way Randaly describes, then I think the odds of one being used to protect a Dark Wizard are at least as high as one being to protect someone from him. Scenario: Dark Wizard and Obsessed Minion (e.g. Voldemort and Bella) are cornered by Aurors, who explicitly state that anyone who surrenders will be taken alive, only for the Minion to willfully choose to take a lethal curse for her master.
