Sep 16, 2012 · The short answer then is that if Voldemort had used the elixir instead of unicorn blood then he would not have had a rudimentary, weak body (a half-life if you will) but rather a full, strong body. Share
If we take Dumbledore's psychoanalysis of Voldemort as fact, he likely uses it once (if he ever figures out how to get the elixir out of the stone.) Maybe the Mirror of Erised will show him how. Once he has his body he will either destroy and corrupt the stone with another Horcrux.
