Amey:
Remember when TR meets harry in CoS, he says he is more interested in Harry than "mudbloods" (Sorry not exact words)? He asks Harry how a small boy like him was successful against the "greatest wizard" twice? Is this just arrogance? This somehow points me to the fact that TR diary shadow maintained some concious of the real LV (just like photographs, not potraits). So if he could somehow gain body, he would go in search of his spirit (or whatever remained after curse) and merge with it again. Yes a new body, just 16 yr old, with all the powers restored... definitely stronger than present day LV in spirit form. And the way they met in CoS, I don't think by that time TR was such a good boy that he was much distingushable from LV, at least not in his nature.

Amey: 
If this is the case, Snape would have died teh moment he contacted DEs again. That hasn't happened. So LV does not know as yet that he is a spy, he just thinks Snape ran away from him like the rest of the pack.
I personally think the bit about one who is lost forver (the word is lost, not left) is somebody else, haven't we heard of any DE killed in battle with Aurors?


Amey, signing off

PS. List Elves are going to kill me for this, but still I will take the chance. Has anybody has more than 4 things in scrapbook in JKR's site? Just answer is enough, how many and where I won't ask.

ELF NOTE:  Please send any replies regarding JKR's scrapbook to Amey offlist.  Thanks!
