I kind of needed that justification in making her a Mother too. Because my fic works entirely on her vulnerability in Deathly Hallows. I remember reading the book and just seeing this hopelessness every time we saw her. The films did NOT do it justice. I mean what about that scene where Voldemort basically kills everyone in the room and she and Lucius are pushing people out of the way in a desperate attempt to get out? She was just so lost and confused. And so my fic was based on the idea of what would push her over the edge. And I had to work out how you would write Bellatrix as a Mother, which lead to the "pleasing others" theory. She'd want to make her child happy. Particularly if she had missed the chance before.
