Voldemort didn't realize that Harry was so full of the 
power he detests until Harry  called up his yearning for Sirius. 
Now he knows--and I think that changes everything. Voldemort 
detests that power because he's afraid of it, as he fears anything 
he can't control. I don't think he can face it again.

It's sort of the opposite of the way Harry was with the Patronus 
spell. He always had the power, but he couldn't use it until he 
*knew* that he could. Voldemort still has the ability to invade 
Harry's mind, but IMO, he can't use it anymore because he 
*knows* Harry is protected by that power.
