Oh my gosh, I keep telling y'all that you do not really understand 
evil (trying dealing with batterers for a while).

Sneaking Harry's blood would have been effective for the reanimation, 
but remember Peter has been urging Voldemort to take any old enemy's 
blood for a while. It would work just as well. Voldemort rejects this.

Harry has defeated him three times! That is unbelievable to someone 
who had the whole wizard world in chaos. To consolidate his power, he 
MUST prove to his followers that he can conquer this boy......he must 
do it in as showy and as melodramatic a way as possible. Evil is 
always melodramatic. But Voledemort must show the Death Eaters that 
he is once again powerful and in control. He must show them that 
although he had been defeated by Harry before, he can now easily 
conquer Harry. He must show them vividly and graphically, by killing 
Harry in front of them, that he is now, once again in charge.

Voldemort, like every evil leader, is also afraid that someone in his 
ranks (Lucius Malfoy?) will eventually challenge his leadership. He 
has to watch his back every moment. Remember, some (Karkaroff) have 
already betrayed him and some have abandoned him (Snape). Then, his 
plan to kill Harry in a showy manner backfires. Harry lives, and 
Crouch, Jr. fails.

Lots of references are made to possible strife among the good guys 
(Fudge), but I'm wondering if the next books might also feature 
internicene warfare among the evil doers....
