He's powerful, he's rich, he's capable. He's also kept up a good deal of 
his evilness even while Voldy was gone. He's had the ministry of magic 
under his thumb -- and probably still has total power over them. That's no 
small thing!  He even got Dumbledore thrown out as headmaster for a short 
period of time.

Yes. Especially the dementors. Maybe not the giants. :) I'm sure of the 
dementors. She's been hinting her butt off.

Because he never read the list of "Things I will Not Do if I Become An Evil 
Overlord".

Perhaps he feels he can't win the respect of his followers until he proves 
that he can defeat Harry. After all, he's the one who stopped him last 
time, and there are probably plenty of people of there who doubt Voldy can 
kill him. Maybe many of the followers won't come back until he can prove 
that it's going to go the right way this time.
