In many cultures if you knew the true name of someone, you had power over 
that person.  Remember in the tale 'Rumplestilskin' when the girl tells him 
his name how angry he gets?

In HP, folks are afraid to say Voldy's name, and most don't know that his 
true name was (is) Tom Riddle.   Maybe since Harry knows his true name, he 
will prove to have power over him in some way, such as naming him to the 
Death Eaters.

Just  a thought...

Peace & Plenty,

Parker
