I'm with you, Jeff.  But, if you remember, and I don't have the book 
in front of me to give you the direct canon, but he did say to Harry 
that they even look somewhat alike.  That little point has been stuck 
in my brain ever since I read the book the first time.

Besides, if a spell backfiring caused the transfer of powers, then 
the battle in the DoM would have reprecussions for all those 
involved.  Yet we see no transfer there.

Also, there has to be some kind of affinity between LV and Harry if 
their wands are "brothers".  I suspect JKR has a really big surprise 
in store for us.
