Never noticed that before, but I'd guess it's because he's possessed 
by old moldy voldy.  And at the time he's raving about how fabulous 
and powerful lv is.  Or maybe JKR just hadn't quite worked out yet 
exactly who would and wouldn't be able to say the name.  That's all I 
can think of.  It's sooo late and i'm braindying.
