Bonnie's Reply:
Well, I won't go into the whole wacky Harry is Voldemort's father 
theory right now to explain one possible way that there might be a 
weakness in the flesh, blood, and bone resurrection spell. 

Realistically, there's a better explanation that someone else came up 
with a few months ago here. I'm just sorry that I couldn't tell you 
what the subject title that this theory was first posted under. 

This is that the weakness for the bone part of the spell is that the 
bone has to be "unknowingly given" can be manipulated somehow (GoF, 
USA Paperback, p. 641). So that all someone has to do, let's say 
Dumbledore or Snape for instance, is go back in time and tell Tom 
Riddle, Sr. that his son will come back one day for his body or part 
of his body.
