Hmmm...he could have taken it in his sleep.  I definitely think that 
would count as "forcibly taken."  It's not quite as forcible as tying 
someone to a headstone and stabbing him in the arm, but it's still 
without consent.

Ditto, perhaps, any way he could have taken it without Harry knowing 
his real purpose.  If my doctor takes my blood to run a test for me, 
that's not force.  If she then uses it to clone me without my 
knowledge, THAT'S force.

But I'm not a dark wizard so what do I know?
