This may be an incredibly stupid question, however, I'll ask it anyway, to
get it out of my system if nothing else.  What exactly do we know about the
potion that Voldemort used to resurrect himself?  Is this listed in potion
books for anyone to look up?  Do vapours/ugly baby creatures often resurrect
themselves using this potion?  If not, how does Voldemort know about this?
If so, why wasn't the elder Riddle's tomb more closely guarded?  Or bones
removed entirely?  If, however, this is something Voldemort "thought up"
himself, could he have needed Harry's blood for another reason?  A reason,
say, he didn't want even his followers to know about?  Is this possible?  Or
has my imagination gotten carried away?
