Ewe2:
> I thought Voldemort kills him?!

Dung:
Yes, but in the Mugglenet/Leaky interview after HBP she says he's 
dead. The next bit confirms it:

JKR: I'm going to tell you as much as I told someone earlier who 
asked me. You know Owen who won the [UK television] competition to 
interview me? He asked about Grindelwald [pronounced "Grindelvald" 
HMM
]. He said, "Is it coincidence that he died in 1945," and I said 
no. 

Dung:
She really honestly said he was dead, agreed he died in 1945 and then 
did a U-turn. Hmpf.

do we think this was a new addition after  his return?

Dung:
It was after his return that he put the "taboo" on his name to trace 
people who used it. 

p360 (UK):
"The name's Taboo!" Ron bellowed, leaping to his feet as a loud 
*crack* sounded outside the tent. "I told you, Harry, I told you, we 
can't say it any more - we've got to put the protection back around 
us - quickly - it's how they find -"
