Thanks for the above JKR statement- I had not heard that Voldemort's 
first goal was European domination.  IMO, Voldemort has another goal-
one that he has been working on for some time, according to himself, 
prior to his failed attempt to kill Harry-immortality.  I can 
certainly see how one goal can be connected to the other.  IMO, 
Voldemort has a lot in common with the ancient Egyptians-who were 
also very interested in the concept of immortality.  Perhaps, and 
this of course is just a guess, the next step following the regaining 
of a human body involves something that can only be found in Eqypt-
something to do with the phoenix.  IMO, Voldemort's greatest fear is 
death and what follows after death;hence, his fanatical obsession 
with immortality.  I believe the following ideas are too closely 
connected to be coincidental: 1) the title of book 5-the Order of the 
Phoenix; 2) the Egypt-Phoenix connection; 3)Phoenix-Egyptian symbol 
of immortality; 4) references to ancient Egyptian wizards in PoA; 5) 
Voldemort's obsession with immortality/desire to rule Europe. And 
also, Bill Weasley is already in Egypt-could he be considered 
a "special fan" of Harry's?  Up to book 4, we had never met Bill 
Weasley-now suddenly, here he is-coincidence?  IMO, I just do not 
think so.
