My French is *very* far from perfect, but I was under the impression
that flight (as in fleeing) would be fuite, not vol?  Vol seems to be
flight as in flying.  That's rather disappointing as I thought the
idea of fleeing from death fitted Voldemort quite well, but in this
case I'll have to go with vol de mort as meaning theft of/from death.
