I'm very interested in your theory.  The whole voices thing has 
really got me thinking.  I can definitely see how many of the 
instances sound like LV - especially the "bow to death" instance you 
pointed out.  But...what about the following instances?

Jenjar responds:

Why would LV be calling Harry?  It sounds like someone who cares 
about or loves him...like maybe his Mom or Dad?

Jenjar responds:

Again, why would LV say this?  It doesn't seem to accomplish anything 
for LV, it really just validates Harry which again is something I 
would suspect more from someone who loves Harry.

Jenjar responds:

This instance most of all seems like something a loved one would tell 
him - Why would LV want to give Harry hope?  Why would LV even care 
about this?


I can buy the idea that LV may be one of voices in Harry's head, some 
of the time but I think there's got to be something else going on 
here.  I hope maybe it's a connection to a loved one.  Maybe part of 
his Mom's sacrifice enabled a mindlink between them that extends 
beyond the veil...
