I have been told that it is rude of me to tell newbies that just about
every new person who has joined since GoF has started by asking that
question, which of course the pre-existing members had also discussed
starting at 12:30am of July 8 (someone is a speed reader).

As far as I know, no one here thinks it means that Dumbledore
is evil. Most people thinks it means that Dumbledore is aware that
Voldemort has made himself vulnerable in some way. One possibility
is that V said he had become mortal temporarily in order to become
immortal again: if so, he can be killed during the time that he is
mortal. Other possibilities have to do with Harry being able to use
against V the blood-link that V created between them, or that Harry's
blood full of Lily Potter's love will dissolve V away from the inside
or turn him into a good person or something. Some people suggested that
Dumbledore is merely momentarily triumphant that one of his predictions
turned out right, and the triumph passes when he remembers the cost to
Harry. An implauible but wildly obscene answer is available on message
#27 of the new HPforGrownups e-group to which we have all migrated from
