If that's accurate, pedophilia and necrophilia seem very inappropriate words.

I can vouch for its accuracy; those words come up a lot in Biblical exegesis (particularly "agape", for obvious reasons). "Philia" just became a catch-all word for love that we incorporated into our language, mostly via science as far as I can tell (and mostly as a suffix, unless I'm forgetting some words); the other nuances were largely lost, at least as distinct words.
