Hmmmm.  This is *really* off the wall, which isn't very like me, but 
I'm going to throw it out there anyway.  

All that time Gilderoy Lockhart was travelling, "doing" all those 
amazing things he wrote about?  As he confessed to Harry & Ron, we 
know he was actually "stealing the actions" of many others who 
actually performed those amazing feats, and then performing powerful 
memory charms upon them.  Could doing so leave them in a weakened, 
susceptible state?  Could Lockhart & Voldy have been working in 
cahoots somehow, with Voldy sort of piggybacking onto Lockhart's 
memory-charmed, weakened subjects and possessing them??
