But the Stone could not have given him a body. It could have assured
immortality, but not given him a body. So it does not belong on this list of
ways to re-corporate Voldemort.

I may have to go back and read the earlier posts on this thread, but from my
cursory example, it seems your theory rather egregiously violates Occam's
Razor. The sets of circumstances you cite are all explicable by other, more
likely rationales; even some of the more likely rationales are pretty
unlikely.

Enough of your basic assumptions seem to be flawed just enough to make me
question your conclusion (the meaning of 'stopper death,' the capabilities
of the Stone, the nature of the Polyjuice potion).
