Finwitch:

I doubt it can kill automatically. "One who I believe has left me 
forever. We will kill him, of course." I do think it burns/hurts when 
ever a DE hears the name Voldemort. An act or words to make the 
person saying it to share the fear makes it stop, I think. (At least 
that's what we get of Snape's reactions when Harry says it. I wonder 
how Dumbledore takes that... considering how he tries to get people 
speak the name. One reason why Harry is so dear to him...)

It might tell Voldemort, though, and then he can use a severing 
curse, crucio and AK to see to the traitor...

Finwitch:

Seems water-tight to me. :-)

-- So long as Harry call his home the place where his mother's blood 
dwells he'll be safe there...  hmmm -m m. Guess he just needs a home  
as his mother's blood dwells in his own veins, too! Then again, 
ancient magic probably don't work that way - or does it allow it?
