Do we know this?  I don't remember a potion being part of it.

Allie again:

That's interesting, I had always thought that Voldemort (and his 
body) was vaporized when the AK rebounded on him.  *WAS* his body 
just lying there in the ruin?  I've never heard mention of a body 
before.  But if there was no body, that brings up the question of 
how did anyone know he was gone?  Unless someone else was there and 
witnessed it (conspiracy theorists, take your pick:  
Snape/Peter/Lupin/Hagrid/Dumbledore).
