The derived class controls everything.  You cannot take control away from  
the derived class, it just can't be done:

class A
{
    private void cantCallMe();
}

class B : A
{
    override private void cantCallMe() { butICanCallYou(); }
    private void butICanCallYou() { /* do impl */ }
}

so far, private virtual functions == annoyance.  I haven't seen anything  
to prove otherwise yet.
