Everyone keeps saying that the only who could take on Voldemort, and
(other than Harry) isn't afraid to say his true name, is Dumbledore.

Actually, that's not true. It's clearly stated in PoA that both Professor
Lupin and Sirius Black say Voldemort's name. I don't have my copy close at
hand, but Lupin says, when Harry asks him why he didn't let him fight
the boggart in DADA, that he "assumed the boggart would assume the
shape of Lord Voldemort," and Harry was surprised because, other than
Dumbledore, he'd never heard anyone else say Voldemort's name rather than
"You-Know-Who."

Also in PoA, in the Shrieking Shack, after Scabbers is transformed into
Petter Pettigrew, he accuses Black of being a spy for You-Know-Who,
and Black says something like, "Me, a spy for Voldemort?" I believe,
but I'm not sure, that

Black also uses Voldemort's name in GoF.
