Hi,
  Anyone out there ever wonder about the origin of the term "Death Eater"?  Why exactly are LV's followers referred to as such?  Could it be that in his many immortality experiments he discovered a way for others to consume small doses of his mortality, leaving him, essentially, deathless?  Or, maybe this could give credence to the argument (from a little while back) that AK absorbs some part of the witch or wizard it is used on.  Maybe the DE's used AK to absorb and then deliver to LV a sort of life essence from all of their victims, thereby making him (LV) one big battery of life (and, therefore, immortal). 
  Ooh! And, therefore, when LV tried AK on Harry (who was protected by his mother's self sacrificial charm) AK was twisted into something else when it rebounded on LV,  either because of the charm or his many experiments.   Or, I could be wrong. 

  Just a thought, although a very odd one.
