I was skimming SS last night and noticed in the first chapter that 
Dumbledore tells McGonagall that he has been trying for years to get 
people to call LV by his "proper name: Voldemort."  Contrast that 
with the battle in OoP when Dumbledore keeps calling him "Tom."

Is that because it would be confusing to introduce too many facts at 
the beginning of the first book?  Or is there a more subtle reason 
for Dumbledore's (and JKR's) wording?
