Well, what if a different spell, similar in nature, but not the exact 
one that Voldie used, were possible? Using Meckie's idea, is it 
possible that a particular spell is out there somewhere to bring back 
a soul-sucked individual can return to his original state?
No, Voldie was not *dead*. Crouch is not *dead* either. Therefore, if 
a dark arts spell can bring back Voldie to his original state, why 
not Crouch or anyone else who has been soul-kissed? Who knows what 
magic is hidden in some of those old spell books. 

Doreen, who still likes Mecky's idea & vampires & Hagrid ... go figure
