“Do you not see what he has done to you again Bella?! How can you, of all people, keep allowing this to happen?”
“Aw, what's the matter with you muddy? We may share a bed, but that doesn’t give you any right to tell me right from wrong when it comes to Rodolphus!”
“Honest to Merlin Bella -“
"That is not my name! You can keep it out of your mouth till I say otherwise Granger, for this has nothing to do with you at all.”
“It has everything to do with me when I see a girl being taken advantage of, this isn’t right at all Bella -”
“ - Trix! Bellatrix you incompetent little fool -“
"Will you stop acting like this is the complete norm when it isn’t at all, don’t you see what power he thinks he has over you? This person I’m next to right now isn’t the Bellatrix I know, she wouldn’t let a stupid little boy run his hands all over her like she was nothing but a hunk of meat! Please Bellatrix, please wait! Just listen to me - would you, oh please Bellatrix, just stop and listen to me! STOP!”

Okay. I know this is going to sound crazy, but hear me out.
We all know that Amortentia does not bring actual Love, just a strong obsession.
We also know that Bellatrix’s love for Voldemort is very much like a strong obsession.
So, my theory is, that when Voldemort started to try and gain followers, he was very desperate, and gave Bellatrix a big dose of Love Potion, which caused her to have a strong obsession with him.
“I was and am the Dark Lord’s most loyal servant, I learned the Dark Arts from him, and I know spells of such power that you, pathetic little boy, can never hope to compete —”
