Personally, I fell Vmort made the bad guy mistake of equating the 
ability to kill and cause damage with power. Dumbledore, on the other 
hand, values information as true power and was happy at learning 
Vmort used Harry's blood because he knows Vmort's weakness and saw 
his plan coming together. Vmort was fearful because he saw his plan 
coming apart.

Picture you're LV. You 'sell your soul' if you will for forbidden 
power. Thinking you are the heir of Slytherin, you may consider it 
your sacred duty to cleanse the world of muggles (in denial of your 
half-blood heritage) and roll over every foe until you face a 1 year-
old baby and deathspell destroys your body in a flash.

Eisting without a body for a decade you capture a foolish wizard 
almost a decade later and come within a hair of regaining a body and 
immortality when the same boy at ELEVEN YEARS OLD destroys you WITH A 
TOUCH!

The next year an incredibly intricate contingency plan fails at the 
last moment from the SAME BOY AGAIN!

You decide to pull out all the stops and put the wheels in motion to 
regain a body using the blood of the UNBELIEVABLE BOY. You lure the 
boy to your lair, gather your follows and regain your body. You test 
it, first touching the boy than casting Cruciatus on him and then in 
the climax to your plan face the Boy in a wizard's duel. BUT YOU 
OVERLOOK that you wands are from the same Phoenix!

Simply, Voldemort's in DENIAL, his mind twisted by megalomania 
ignoring the fact that he isn't God. The fear was Valdemort being 
shown his shortcomings and facing the unknown. He will almost 
certainly forget his failure soon after Harry escaped and plan his 
war. He may have to reformulate plan, checking his followers 
allegiance and gauging his foes weaknesses. 

So if you were an insane nearomnipotant Dark Lord, who would be your 
first target: Potter or Dumbledore? Where would your attack come 
through: Ministry of Magic? Giants? Maybe attack Hogwarts through 
Durmstrang?
