Reincarnation wouldn't work in JKR's WW. Too many ghosts haven't come 
back while others whisper beyond the veil. 

Besides, Tom Riddle was alive and at Hogwarts when Grindelwald was 
defeated. Grindelwald would need a new born after his death for 
reincarnation to work.

However, an Ancient magic may be used to merge a strong Dark Wizard 
with a willing youth. Riddle may still be the vehicle for 
Grindelwald .... and more.

Grindelwald was "DEFEATED" (DD's Choc Frog Card), not killed. Tom 
Riddle disappeared in Eastern Europe for some time (around where 
Grindelwald was active?) before emerging as LV.

If the Dark Wizard from 1945 could merge to prolong his life, why not 
take this to the extreme?

Salazar Slytherin LEFT Hogwarts, but there was no mention of how or 
if he died. Since Nicholas Flammel could survive for centuries, why 
couldn't Slytherin himself be possessing his 25th victom in his quest 
for long life and power?  ~aussie~
