Geoff:
If the label was dated 16 years previously, then I read this as being 
the original label following Dumbledore's meeting with Sybill 
Trelawney before Harry's birth -  Harry isn't 16 until the summer 
after thie MOM incident.

So I suspect the re-labelling is the addition of the words "and (?) 
Harry Potter". Hence the Dark Lord reference was the original data.
