blood to bring himself back.  By taking Harry's blood at that point,
and bringing Voldy back to power, he managed something quite
incredible - he rendered Voldy mortal. <snip>


Carol responds:
I have a problem here--not with azrionas's argument, which I agree
with, but with the idea that Voldy is now mortal. He himself has said
that he will settle, temporarily, for having his body back and not yet
seek immortality, but if he's mortal, why can only Harry destroy him?

We've already discussed why DD didn't try to kill LV at the MoM, but
if LV is mortal, *couldn't* DD have killed him, Prophecy or no Prophecy?

Either A) the Prophecy is wrong (or being wrongly interpreted by DD,
Harry, and most readers) or B) LV is wrong about his own mortality:
he's immortal with the exception of an Achilles heel named Harry Potter.

Can anyone think of a third possibility (C)) that will make sense of
this apparent contradiction? How can Voldy be mortal and still be
killable only by Harry?

Carol in Tucson, wondering if azriona also lives in Azriona, erm, Arizona
