I seem to remember some speculation on this topic back in maybe 
July, when I first started pottering about here. One line that stood 
out as significantly connected was the one in PS when Hagrid 
says, "I don't think he had enough human in him left to be really 
dead" (sorry for the bungled misquote, but I don't have my book 
readily available, and to run and get it risks waking the kid to 
explain why Mommy is stealing his book again). So the speculation 
ran that before Voldie didn't have enough human in him, but NOW he 
just might...ie. enough of Harry.

Cheers!
