Right after Harry's interview was published in The 
Quibbler, he and the other Gryffindors were celebrating 
in the common room.  Fred and George put an engorgement 
charm on the front cover and hung it on the wall. Harry's 
giant head gazed down upon the proceedings, saying 
things like "The Ministy are Morons" and "Eat dung, 
Umbridge". As the spell wore down, it merely shouted 
words like "dung" and "Umbridge".  Harry's scar began 
to prickle and his head hurt.  He went to bed and fell 
asleep.  Then

**********************
He was standing in a dark curtained room lit by a 
single branch of candles.  His hands were clenched 
on the back of the chair infront of him.  They were 
long-fingered and white as if they had not seen 
sunlight for years and looked like large, pale 
spiders against the dark velvet of the chair.
**********************

Voldemort is interrogating Rookwood.  Harry not 
only sees from Voldemort's prespective, he *is* Voldemort.

**********************  
"You have done well to tell me this," said Harry.
...
Left alone in the dark room, Harry turned toward 
the wall.  A cracked, age-spotted mirror hung on 
the wall in the shadows.  Harry moved toward it.  
His reflection grew larger and clearer in the 
darkness....A face whiter than a skull...red 
eyes with slits for pupils...
