GEO: This subject has just been recently discussed in the afhp 
newsgroup and someone actually posted a theory that actually made 
sense in my opinion in relation to Rowling's words that Voldemort's 
immortality was somehow related to the prophecy and that 
specifically was that Voldemort gave up the ability to love or 
externalized that part of him (perhaps his heart like Koschei the 
Deathless) that was capable of the power that he now knows not in 
order to achieve his supposed immortality. That would also explain 
DD's gleam in GoF since the maternal protection that both Harry and 
Voldemort has and was probably also in Harry's blood was based in 
love and thus could have weakened Voldemort's immortality.
