Chancie:

Hmmm... Your post really made me think, but I did have just a
few comments on this.  Luckily we know that *WHEN* Harry
defeats LV/DL/whatever-else-you-want-to-call-him, he won't
"reincarnate" this time, if he indeed do before as you suggest,
the prophecy clearly states "the one with the power to vanquish
the Dark Lord approaches" so it will indeed be the Dark Lord
who is done away with, even if LV is a different persona all together.
I'm kind of confused on the whole thing, but would the DL vs. LV
be kind of like a possession, or split personality, or what?
