his goals if he is missing pertinent information like:

a. My wand has a twin, and it belongs to Harry Potter.I saw nothing 
in canon that lead me to believe he was aware of this, nor that he 
deduced it from the show down in GoF.
b. Voldy is still not quite sure of the extent of Harry's abilities, 
or the effects of the failed AK curse, and how that might have 
affected Harry's abilities.Ex- inability of the possessed Professor 
Quirrel to touch Harry, Harry's ability to speak parsel tongue which 
aided him in hunting down the basilisk. There is no prior wizarding 
confrontation where a wizard or witch deflected the AK curse to base 
possible assumptions of abilities.
c. At this point in the series, Voldy is out of the 
wizarding "loop",so to speak, and has no way to gather this 
information up until now( It doesn't appear that Pettigrew offers 
much insight into Harry's abilities, despite that fact that he was in 
close contact with Harry for 3 years in rat form). This may change as 
he is now reunited with the other loyal DE's.
 
Will Voldy learn from his past confrontations that " Prior 
preparation prevents poor performance" ?

As I said before, we are not positive what conclusions Voldy came to 
when Harry's wand reversed the spells from his wand. Is he aware of 
the fact that brother wands don't operate correctly when dueling? 
>From Voldy's experience with the duel, did he indeed realize Harry 
had the brother wand to his wand ? 

For the questions regarding Voldy strategy, here is a likely 
scenario. Knock out Dumbledore first as he provides protection. Since 
Dumbledore taught Voldy, both are well aware of each others 
limitations and can plan accordingly. While knocking out the source 
of protection, have the DE's gather information on just how capable 
Harry is as a wizard and where Harry's deficits are. Once Dumbledore 
is out of the picture, go for Harry with plenty of prior planning for 
possible foul -ups. Voldy needs a plan A, a plan B, and a plan C.
