Again, I repeat, this is really going to take a long post to prove, 
but you have to work out the connection backwards, not forwards. 

Dumbledore carefully prevents Voldemort from getting the 
Philosopher's Stone, but appears to make no effort to, say, ensure 
that the Riddle's bodies are respectably reburied in a secret 
location (or cremated), or to prevent Voldemort setting up in the old 
family mansion.  Not even though he knows exactly which village 
Voldemort's father grew up in, follows news about it closely enough 
to  know all about Frank Bryce's death in the old Riddle mansion - 
and has a potions expert on hand to suggest a possible potion 
Voldemort might use. 

He also knows which country Voldemort is hiding in during CoS and 
PoA; a few carefully dropped hints about this would make any of the 
Death Eaters doubt that there was a realistic chance of secretly 
making physical contact with Voldemort in Albania after the 
Philosopher's Stone disaster. Owls, and other indirect means of 
contact, probably were possible. 

I believe Pettigrew was 'allowed' to make contact with Voldemort, and 
Voldemort was 'allowed' to return to his father's old home. 
Dumbledore, IMO, took every effort to make sure Voldemort didn't 
resurrect *until* Dumbledore had some control over the circumstances.

The spell Voldemort uses requires a servant's flesh and an enemy's 
blood, which are both rather widely available. It also requires the 
bone of Voldemort's father, which is much more limited in supply and 
could have been destroyed. The fact that it wasn't suggests that 
Dumbledore was deliberately trying to make sure Voldemort only had 
one resurrection option open to him. 

Once you realise that Voldemort has used Harry for the enemy (pretty 
easy guess that he might well do that, especially after you've fed 
Voldemort-via-Harry all that guff about his mother's protection in 
his blood), a servant Dumbledore effectively provided, and has not 
been prevented from obtaining his father's body then you really, 
really start to wonder about that potion.

Yup. 'his performance.' Good choice of words there. [grin]. Snape 
isn't the only good actor in this series.

Pip (who will write that post about the end of GoF. Honest. She 
doesn't *need* a life. Really she doesn't)
