June:
The reason Harry refers to Voldemort as "He who must not be named"
in the movie is because (although it isn't in the movie, it is in
the extras and also in the book) there was a spell put on the use
of Voldemort's name where if anyone said his name, they could be
found by him and his death eaters. That is why Xenophilius Lovegood
uses Voldemort's name in his house. It summoned the death eaters.
When McGonagall uses it however there was no use in not using it as
he and his death eaters where there already.
