1. Quirrel used it in the final chapter of PS: 'Think he can stop me, 
when I have Lord Voldemort on my side.'
2. I know, Snape never used the word Voldemort or he who must not be 
named.  In fact, no one on the dark side ever used 'He-who-must-not-
be-named' or 'you-know-who', except Karkaroff when he's pleading in 
the Pensieve and Pettigrew when he tried to talk his way out at the 
end of PoA.  (Pettigrew even used the word Voldemort, which is 
strange because he just flinched at the name two paragraphs above 
it.  Inconsistency on JKR's part?)
