I read a compelling argument at mugglenet that suggested that the 
mysterious essence was hope, citing how Harry felt when thinking 
about being reunited with Sirius. I have to concur that someone as 
obsessed with power and control and as terrified of death as 
Voldemort would definitely NOT understand hope.
