I've just been re-reading some of the old Dishwasher posts, and  
I'm wondering...

If Dumbledore knew all about the re-embodiment potion, 
planned that Voldemort would use it and knew that Voldemort 
would be vulnerable once he had used it, why didn't he plan to hit 
Voldemort as soon as he came back?

All Dumbledore had to do was have an agent keep a secret 
watch on the graveyard. Dobby would be ideal. He can  conceal 
himself and and he can transport himself instantly to Hogwarts. 
Dobby could have reported to Dumbledore as soon as the 
re-embodiment was begun. 

Then, as  Voldemort rose from his cauldron, naked, 
unsuspecting, unarmed and unprotected but for Pettigrew, 
Dumbledore himself along with  any other trusted members of 
the Old Crowd could have portkeyed to the graveyard and 
disposed of Voldemort for good.

The only reason I can think of for Dumbledore not to plan this 
would be that if the agent were discovered, it might have made 
Voldemort suspicious of the potion. But the agent could have 
been provided with a cover story very easily, since Little 
Hangleton was also the site of Frank Bryce's disappearance.
