As for other interpretations of "vol de mort", I'm adding a gloss to the Concordance about them. "Vol" for theft is more idiomatic than literal, but you never know what Rowling had in mind. And I don't really think Riddle's megalomania would let him name himself "flight from death" -- it would be too much like admitting a weakness.
