Canon references to wizards losing their powers:

SS/PS Ch. 4 "Most of us reckon he's still out there somewhere 
but lost his powers."

COS Ch. 17 "No one knows why you lost your powers when you 
attacked me."

PoA Ch. 10 "Dementors are supposed to drain a wizard of his 
powers if he is left with them too long..."

PoA Ch. 19 "You weren't about to commit murder right under 
Albus Dumbledore's nose, for a wreck of a wizard who'd lost all 
of his power, were you?"

And  Malfoy says something like, "Your dad likes Muggles so 
much he ought to snap his wand in two and go join them" but I 
can't remember the reference. LOONS?
