Ha, I knew it! It seems the crow cannot be Lenore.
I have held the oppinion that the crow is a nobody, but that the narrator in his frustration for the loss of Lenore had found a source of mysticism that could give him hope. This is why he gave the Raven such names as "devil" and "prophet".
He began to believe that the Raven indeed was a creature from the dead, and had decision over the afterlife.
But of course, the narrator placed his whole hopes in what the raven had to say, and as the raven could say nothing but "nevermore", his hopes were lost, as his sanity was when he decided the raven was a sort of deity.
