Geoff:
Your final line reminded me of one of my favourite quotes from the 
Narnia books.

In "The Magician's Nephew", the following exchange occurs:

'And there was such merriment that the Jackdaw himself plucked up 
courage again and perched on the cab-horse's head, between its ears, 
clapping its wings and said:
"Aslan! Aslan! Have I made the  first joke? Will everybody always be 
told how Imade the first joke?"
"No, little friend," said the Lion. "You have not /made/ the first 
joke; you have only /been/ he first joke."'

Now all we need is for us to fit Voldemort into a similar context and 
he will rush from the scene blushing - not because Harry kissed him as 
I wickedly suggested in message 129988 - but because of acute 
embarrassment at being laughed at....
