Geoff:
Yes, I know. It's because Harry uses his name at the end of Chapter 22 
"The Deathly Hallows" that the Snatchers arrive and capture them and 
take them to Malfoy Manor.

But Harry does use the name in several places; people around him are 
also using the proper name. So I wonder if that was a minor oversight.
