IMO, I believe Dumbledore's gleam is a 
result of his realization that Voldemort has regained his human form-
which now makes him vulnerable in a way he has not been for some 
time. 

Me:
This is a very interesting idea but I'd like to say that we probably shouldn
t focus very much on Vold having regained a body but on having regained some
sort of, lets say, 'metaphysical humanity'. Vold *had* a body when the AK
rebounded on him, however, he didn't die on that occasion because all the 
experiments' he had been doing had given him some sort of immortality, the
body was gone but his 'essence' was still there. Now he has a body again but
 unless the rite he performed messed with the immortality he had obtained in
those years spent studying the Dark Arts ( and so far we have no prove of
this), he may loose it as the first time and still not die. I should think
that his ( supposed) vulnerability is in new link with 'spiritual' rather
than material humanity ( which basically is the same as saying - as I have
in a previous post- that now Vold has bits of Goodness, through Harry, in
him).
I hope someone can make something out of this because I don't feel I managed
to explain my thoughts very well, but it's kind of too complex for my
English.
