Ceridwen:
Yes, it makes perfect sense to me.  We have discussed this a little 
and the consensus is that, as you say, the soul inside of LV is the 
original soul, which has had pieces of it shaved off through the 
murders he has committed.  This is why that soul part did not leave 
the human level of existence when the body, or container, was 
destroyed.  I haven't noticed much discussion about the original mind 
and heart and all the rest being attatched to the original soul.  
That is an interesting point.
