I imagine that look is going to be one of the hot topics for discussion
while we wait for the next book. My take was that the Big V made a huge
(perhaps fatal) mistake. He may be an extremely nasty character, but he's
already shown (in books 1,2 & 4) that he does not always think about the
consequences of his actions before taking them. I'd trust that look of
Dumbledore's means that he has realized that the odds of defeating V
just improved drastically.
