At last someone talks of Grindelwald (called "DWG" for Dark Wizard 
Grindelwald in the rest of this post).

According to the Choc Frog card, DWG was DEFEATED, not "KILLED".

Can we say the LV was DEFEATED, not KILLED, when Harry was a baby?

Could DWG have found a willing disciple in young Tom Riddle at the 
time he needed a new body most? DWG could have set the example for 
LV's body hopping (re: Quirrel and his re-appearance in GOF).

It is no accident that JKR made DWG and Tom disappear the same year, 
or why would she mention the 1945 on the Card to start with.

.. And if you hold that as a possibility, was DWG "body-jacked" by 
other Dark Wizards of old? (DD said Harry in Hospital in PS/SS "He 
[LV] is still out there somewhere, perhaps looking for another body 
to share... not being truly alive, he cannot be killed.")

So how far back could it be? Longer than 665 years (Flamel's age)? 
Why not the original SALAZAR SLYTHERIN who "disappeared" 1000 years 
ago?
