This actually goes back to my original observation, that Dumbledore 
said he was trying "to get people to call LV by his "proper name: 
Voldemort." I agree that Dumbledore was trying to get behind Tom's 
defenses in the battle.  But why make such a point of saying 
Voldemort was his "proper name" in the beginning?
