Bad Alias:
I believe it's that he can hear out of every shadow cast by a living being if he's paying attention. That's significantly different than an intellectus.

If they have an intellectus, it's almost certainly not a general one.

My own memory is that he can "hear" it all, but that it's just like the murmurs of a crowd, undifferentiated.

He can "pay attention" to any that he wants to, and they snap to clarity for him (I'm suddenly struck by Harry's talent for "Listening"!), and he can "keep track" of any people of special interest (e.g. Harry during Skin Game); and he "notices" some words (like his own Name) and topics.

As you say, that's less than a true "Intellectus."  But it's formidable, and... similar.
Maybe call it a "Fallen Intellectus" -- less than it was.
