Dumbledore's true motives?

Gerreld:"And he was right-he could touch me without hurting himself, 
he  touched my face." For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a 
gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore's eyes.  But next 
second, Harry was sure he imagined it, 
"

"I was just interested in what other people thought about the 
reaction of Dumbledore to the fact that Voldemort was no longer 
incapable of hurting Harry."

I believe Dumbledore's reaction wasn't connected with Voldemort's new 
found ability to touch Harry; it was to the fact Voldemort took 
Harry's blood to restore himself. You left out part of the quote; the 
look of triumph came as Dumbledore was examining the spot on Harry's 
arm Wormtail stabbed for blood. Dumbledore may sense in this 
Voldemort's ultimate mistake, the mistake that will lead to 
Voldemort's defeat.

Voldemort's made plenty of mistakes so far, beginning with the way he 
tried to kill Harry and almost destroyed himself to underestimating 
his opponents.  Hubris will destroy him in the end.

by the way, welcom to the group!
