Remus refers to Voldemort as "Lord Voldemort", as does Quirrell,
Diary!Tom Riddle, and Dumbledore. Sirus Black says Voldemort, and
Moody says both "Voldemort" and "the Dark Lord". Fudge usually says
"You-know-who", but does say "Lord Voldemort" once in GoF. Peter
Pettigrew also alternates between "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named"[1] and
"Voldemort"...

Minerva also uses "You-know-who", and I tended to place her as old
crowd.

[1] I originally accidentally typed "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Naked" here,
and it still seems appropriate...
