[HPforGrownups] The Fall of the House of Longbottom/Re: Neville Longbottom.

Regarding the possibility (however slim) of baby
Neville being possessed, I have one question: How much
power does Voldemort have over the person whose body
he shares? I got the sense that it was *sharing*, not
complete *possession*. When Voldemort shared
Quirrell's body, he really didn't take over Quirrell's
entire persona, he just basically tagged along on the
back of his head. Quirrell followed Voldemort's orders
because he was a dark lord supporter, not because
Voldemort was literally making him. So if Voldemort
infested Neville's body, I don't think he could
actually use that body to crucio the Longbottoms; all
he could do would be to order Neville to attack them,
which a baby wouldn't even understand, much less be
capable of doing. Also, the use of dark detectors to
discover this probably wouldn't be necessary; I bet
the Longbottoms would notice a face on the back of
their son's head. Just a thought :)
