Bex now:
And of course, the reason that LV didn't die either time was the
Horcruxes still intact. 

I'm still giddy about Harry Potter not only being the only person
known to have *survived* an AK, but also the only person known to have
*recovered* from one.

Reminds me so much of Monty Python ("Well... I got better!")
I'll be giggling about that all evening.
