Now Cory:

I've always attached a fair amount of significance to how different 
characters refer to Voldemort, though I've never drawn a distinction 
between Voldemort and Lord Voldemort before.  To me, it seems that 
the strongest characters in the book refer to him by his proper name, 
while the weaker characters refer to him as "you know who" or 
something comparable.

Incidentally, for me, one of the most powerful moments in OotP was at 
the end of Chapter 15, when Hermione used the name for the first 
time.  I took it as a sign that Hermione has taken another step 
toward coming into her own; that in at least one way, she is now on 
par with the stronger characters in the book (Harry and Dumbledore).

Or I could be making something out of nothing...
