Good Author would simply up Voldy's game; have him invent/rediscover some new spells, summon some demons, power up his minions with dark rituals... basically have him do all the things that fic-HP magic supposedly can do that canon-HP magic doesn't. This way, the conflict stays asymmetrical, which adds more flavor to it, without becoming unbalanced.
