I just found a most excellent fic about how Aberforth and Neville meet via the Room of Requirement and Arianna's painting.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

Ah. Thanks, Kathy. Do we know what happened to his original body, though?

I don't remember any mention of what happened to it--I assume that it was disposed of after the debacle of the attack at Godric's Hollow.
But, at least one of his Death Eaters was there to get his wand and keep it for his return.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I believe the body was entirely destroyed, and all that was left of him was an ethereal remnant -- an eighth of a soul, if you will.

Technically a 7th of a soul, since Nagini wasn't infected with soul de Voldemort until after his body died the first time.

Point. I stand corrected.

Though does the soul split in half with the first Horcrux, then the remaining part split in half again, and so on? So 1/128th of a soul.

That's why Voldy didn't notice it when he lost part of himself in Harry.

Aww it's nice that Big D doesn't think Harry is a waste of space. I have to agree with Vernon, Kingsley would be my first choice as well.
