I am confused, just before he went to find the cave you wrote this "So to be obliged to go there without magic was simply more proof of his impotence and of his master’s wicked malignancy." Yet he apparated to the forbidden forest and had his wand and could use it to defend himself. That sentence made me think that somehow Volemort had taken his magic from him. What exactly did you mean when you said "... go there without magic..."?? Author's Response: No, the solution to your doubts is in this sentence: "But strangely enough, the vision hadn’t been very helpful in determining where the selected spot was exactly, thus making it impossible for him to Apparate there. Furious, he had consequently realized that, to find the cave, he would have to walk and properly examine the site." Voldemort has summoned Severus without giving him full instructions. This means that Severus has to walk unprotected in a place potentially full of enemies. The Dark Lord subtly reminds to Severus that now he is a servant who cannot oppose, but must obey even the most irrational and dangerous decisions of his master.
