Voldemort's veins as a result of his use of Harry's blood during the 
"re-birth" ceremony.  Voldemort may have unwittingly made himself 
part-muggle.  Good joke on him, if so."

That can't be it, Mary. He's already one-half muggle from day one 
through his hated father; Harry's blood was "purer" than Voldemort's 
already.  And if having a witch mother and wizard father doesn't make 
you pureblood, what does?  Are we into the wizarding version of the 
South African race laws, US Jim Crow laws, and Nazi Aryan laws? How 
far back must you go?

I think, though, that *somehow* Voldemort made his ultimate mistake 
when he took Harry's blood. Are their destinies bound together now? I 
hope not, for it could mean Harry is to die if Voldemort is to be 
killed. But somehow Voldemort took in the seeds of his final defeat 
with Harry's blood.
