Quirdemort works for me.  By extension, then, we should stop saying 
Fake Moody and start saying Croody.

No, the reason I personally have trouble with Snape-Returns-to-Spy is 
that JKR laid the foundation for this in such a straightforward way.  
It is almost like she wants us to spend two years selling ourselves 
on the idea and then . . . she's going to pull a fast one.  I just 
want to be ready for something out of the ordinary -- particularly if 
it involves Snape being tortured early and often in OoP.  <g>
