now Pat:

I have felt that the reason Voldy's soul didn't "go anywhere" after
the failed AK was because he *did* have horcruxes.  The piece of soul
that was left in his body after making the other horcruxes could not
leave and go beyond the veil because it was tied here by the other
parts of his soul.  

There are only two logical outcomes that I can think of.  Either the
piece of soul that used to reside in Voldy's body went into Harry's
scar at the time Voldy's body was killed, or the last soul piece was
just "out there," tied to earth and unable to go beyond the veil
because of the other horcruxes.  But neither of these outcomes
explains how Voldy "reconstituted" himself.  In other words, unless he
was able to "capture" the soul piece that was just "out there" to make
his new body at the end of GOF, how *did* he get a piece of soul in
the new body?

I'm not sure which outcome makes me more uncomfortable, I'm not really
in love with either of them.  Any other ideas would be helpful!

Thanks,
Pat
