I am sure this has been discussed before on this list, but I am new and would 
like to reply to this.  IMO, the look of triumph has to do with a way to beat 
Voldemort.  Maybe by taking Harry's blood or performing that particular 
ritual, Voldemort has given Dumbledore a means of triumphing over him.  I 
have though about this a lot and IMO I believe that the love that Harry 
carries around in his blood will be the down fall of Voldemort.  Dumbledore 
said that the one thing that Voldemort could never understand was love.  
Harry's mother gave him a protection of love, which ended up killing 
Voldemort.  Now that same protection has passed onto Voldemort through the 
use of Harry's blood.  Maybe it will change Voldemort imperceptibly at first, 
but who knows.  Will that same love begin to affect him in unknown ways?  
Will this be a chink in his armor of hate?  Love is a powerful weapon and 
usually more powerful as a weapon inside your enemy.  Because that will cause 
dramatic change to the point of your enemy becoming your friend. 

Who knows.
