xuxu:
I think it's most probably just a figure of speech. A rhetorical
question JKR used to avoid reader getting lost in the dialogue.

As far as the dialogue goes, it is fitting for Harry, jumping out
of the pensieve, to ask a spontaneous question, imprecise in its
formulating. But if the verbal exchange had continued without
Voldemort being named, it would have lacked clarity.
