Voldemort and Elixir

I've been pondering lately just what the Elixir of Life can do.  You may recall the theory that Harry will die (but not be completely dead, however you say that) and will be brought back with the last drops of the Elixir of Life.  No real canon to support that, except that there's so much we don't know at all about the Elixir (and the stone, for that matter).  But looking back at Voldemort's quest for the stone and Elixir, how exactly did he plan to get his body back with Elixir?  I'm sure someone's produced theories on this, just that I can't remember them.  At the fartherest stretch of my imagination, he'd need a body of some sort to drink it.  I suppose Quirrell was going to do that.  But how would that help Voldemort?  Wouldn't that just help Quirrell?  Is Voldemort's body out there somewhere?  Or was it destroyed with the rebounded curse?  I know it said he was ripped from his body.  And Sirius said something about getting to the house and seeing the bodies, which could be just the two (Lily and James) or more.

Since I've got myself very confused on the whole issue, anybody have an idea? (I know it's all fantasy anyway, really I do. :)  But I'm still curious.)
