This got me thinking actually. LV doesn't strike me as a very happy person. He doesn't care about love or any other such feelings at all. SO I hardly think he is happy anyway. JK Rowling has said that unhappy people become ghosts when they die (and that there is more to it that we will find out in a later book, both 5 and 7 have been mentioned).

As both books were mentioned by JK Rowling, not rumours could it mean that she changed her mind. That LV becoming a ghost is one of the things that the "good guys" will have to look into and how to stop it, and that that is how Harry (and us) find out about ghosts? That would explain why it was in book seven. She may have changed it to earlier (book 5) in respect of these "unanswered" questions that Harry is going to ask, perhaps something about why his parents didn't become ghosts and then that will relate into some other stuff in book 6 or 7 (as above - how to stop LV becoming a ghost!)
