Personally, I kind of like the idea that he finally went off the deep
end... (Maybe years under the Imperius Curse will do that, even after
you're released?)  It would explain his carelessness with the potion, the
Foe Glass, leading Harry away out of character, risking casting stuns
and Unforgivable Curses with all of Hogwarts and then some watching,
and his wild attempt to kill Harry.  Boy, maybe if he had survived he
would have shown up at the next Death Eater meeting in a Gingham Dress
and a penguin puppet called Mr. Flibble! :)

Of course Voldemort wanted him "dead dead dead", just like I'd like to
a have a million dollars and be able to hop on a broom and play
Quidditch for England.  But we have to all prepare for the possibility
that we can't have what we want, and make the best of it.  The next
best thing to dead Harry is misinformed Harry, from V's POV.
