I took Vernon's "Voldything" as JKR's endorsement of the "Voldy" 
nickname. I guess not, then. Anyway, we of the filking community have 
the nickname too deeply ensconced in our rhyme and metric schemes to 
even think of removing it now.

Moldy Voldy, cruel and old, he's
Resurrected physically
But when his wand gets put on hold, he's
Forced to look on quizzically....

On the other hand, don't even get me started on the Silent T 
controversy!
