Except at end of GoF doesn't Voldy say he is willing to rest regaining
at least some mortality because it is best he can do at present and
perhaps good enough? I had the distinct impression he might be
intending to then try to recreate some of the spells which gave him this
immortality in the first place - another reason for my suggestion he
might choose to lie low for the most part in Book 5, with the principal
conflict being with his minions instead.
