Lecter wants to bring his sister back from the grave. Probably not really since she died quite young, but he wants what he knows as her in his life.

The stint with Starling in his care is a (IMO) brain-washing exercise, where he "builds" his sister from an empty husk.

In a way, he has "eaten" Starling as surely as if he has supped on her victuals. What's left is what he put there, and the complete subjugation of Starling is the part that Jodie Foster (and probably the public in general) doesn't get -- Starling doesn't do this willingly, it isn't her character per se that has changed; it is Lecter's last and most exotic victimization. In the end, Starling is gone.
