Does anyone have any theories regarding Dumbledore's supposed look of triumph 
on learning from Harry that Voldemort is still alive (GoF)? Given the story 
so far, I find it virtually impossible to believe that Dumbledore is up to no 
good.

My personal theory is that Dumbledore still has unresolved issues with 
Voldemort that he needs to address face-to-face. His look of triumph was due 
to the fact that he now had the opportunity to do so and exorcise the ghosts 
of the past. 

Or, alternatively, perhaps Dumbledore relishes the opportunity to kill 
Voldemort himself - but is it really in his nature to be so power-hungry?

What say you all? Any more likely theories?
