book 4... something troubles me...

[Odile Alburquerque]

No: HPFGUIDX 2794

i thought his reasons for using the boy had been explained in book 4, 
if i didnt imagine it, which is a possibility with me when i give 
things too much thought. but wait, no, i think it becomes clearer: 
didnt he (Voldemort) say that his reasons for using Harry's blood was 
so that everyone would see that although he was unable to kill Harry, 
he would be able not only to take his blood and restore himself, but 
kill him with his blood flowing in his veins?

hmmm. odile
