Hey ... that is brilliant =). Heh, I was going to suggest that he was going
to go out, as himself, as a bait for the Death Eaters and possibly
Voldemort himself, but I think your suggestion is much more simple, direct
and interesting.

Then the question becomes, however: why? To tackle Voldemort by himself? To
let Dumbledore take him on? Surely Voldemort won't be shy about facing his
enemies. Would the element of surprise be sufficient?
