I agree! Though I think Voldy may be responsible for his own undoing! In 
his arrogance and haste he has made grave errors in the past (not forseeing 
the ancient and powerful magic that Lily used to protect Harry).

I think the key is in the spell....

Bone of the father unknowingly given: Note the spell does not say bone of 
"my" father. "The father" may not necesarilly mean a parent, it could mean 
a supreme being (God is frequently referred to as the father in the bible) 
or a significant historical figure as in the father of modern medicine. 
Also V's father is a muggle will this make a difference?

Flesh of the servant willingly given: If the above follows, than the flesh 
of the servant would be the flesh of the one that serves the father....so 
it would need to be V's flesh....

Blood of the enemy forcibly taken: First, Harry's blood was not forcibly 
taken...unwillingly given, yes...but forcibly taken? He had no opportunity 
to stuggle as he was tied tightly to the tombstone, Pettigrew simply sliced 
Harry's arm and drew blood, he did not take it using force...

It's quite possible that V in his haste misinterpreted the spell. Although 
it worked for him physically, the implications of using the wrong flesh, 
blood and bone may have a very interesting effect on his future powers! ;)

There are some things you can't share without ending
up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve foot
mountain troll is one of them.
