LV created for himself did not make him mortal again, did not return
him to "full strength and power" but is only a shell for his
ghost-like self to dwell in and use.

(OotP)  LV as a ghost, only an imprint of himself, a feeble imitation
of life, powerless and wandless, unable to ingest a potion to ever
make him anything more or less, trapped between here and there,
laughable to some degree;  would that be worse than death to LV?

 What if the downfall of Voldemort lies in a simple spell that will
remove his soul, or... erase his memory? But Voldemort being so
powerfully protected, the only one capable of doing that would be
Harry, as their minds are connected. Whether this would destroy Harry
as well is a different matter.
