followed by DD's confirmation does not lend itself to having left
a mere impression. The implication is of something more substantial.

Kneasy:
But if it's not an impression, if, as canon suggests, it is a part of Voldy....
Under such circumstances even Dudders would be a super-wizard.

Now if you want to argue that it's just an impression, then fine. 
But find some canon to back it please..
