Raising my hand high!!! I definately thought it was VERY interesting 
that Dumbledore called V Tom. I thought it could mean a number of 
things, but the one I lean towards most is trying to remind him that 
he is human afterall. Given Voldemorts many attempts to achieve 
immortality, I think reminding him that he is still human, is still 
Tom could achieve many things. Make him furious, goad him, humble 
him, remind others of the fact ...

Interesting thread!
