I just re-read PS/SS, CoS, and PoA this weekend and noticed something 
interesting. 

Harry never calls LV by his title  - Lord.  Many of you may have 
picked up on this before but by time I was finished book two.  I 
don't know if I glossed onver this in previous readings (and there 
have been many) but it was as if the absense of the word Lord were 
neon underscores.  Harry is the only one to use just "Voldermort" 
when refering to LV.

I started scaning the books (all 5) looking for someone else refer to 
LV as Voldemort without the Lord and have only found one other person 
to use Voldemort instead of LV and that is Herminone at the end of 
chapter 15 in OotP.

Dumbledore uses Lord Voldemort or Tom, Death eaters use Dark Lord, 
even Sirius and Lupin use the title.

I wish I had the time to give this matter further scrutiny but alas 
Muggle life requires my attention.
