Voldemort has to hide for a few years at least.  As he says, the aurors are searching for him and, as a ghost, he cannot defend himself.  Therefore, he must remain hidden from view until the WW returns to being complatent.

  Subject: [HPforGrownups] Pre-MAGICAL DISHWASHER Plan

  Tip-toeing into the discussing, I gingerly place this post on the
  doorstep of Mr. Grey Wolf's and Mrs. Pip-Squeak's respective houses...

  While I have no problem with the logic of MAGICAL DISHWASHER and
  greatly admire the tremendous research and swift defense you both have
  on your theory, I do want to continue with your train of thought if I may.

  It is obvious that Voldemort and Dumbledore are being very tactical
  and methodical.  Dumbledore does not join the jubilee that Voldemort
  is finally dead.  He *knows* that Voldemort is still alive out there.
  How he *knows* this is not said in the books directly.  We assume it
  because Dumbledore still feels it is necessary to protect Harry and
  keep his guard up thus knowing that Voldemort is after the stone.

  Now pushing aside the pre-Halloween night War, we can wonder what
  happened between November 2nd and June 10 years later.  I really doubt
  Dumbledore kicked his heels up and ate lemon drops.  And I also doubt
  Voldemort just amused himself in the woods for 10 years just waiting.
  Neither man seems that complacent.

  Now Grey commented:
  >>>However, Voldemort is consumed by his desire of power, and
  patience, I'd imagine, tends to wear a bit thin after 10 years of
  possesing bunnies. So, he spends his time remembering ways of
  achieving an inmortality that would also allow him to use a wand.<<<

  Possibly, possibly, I cannot refute you there.  The only canon
  evidence to what Voldie is doing during those 10 years is by his own
  words in the graveyard, and you yourself do not believe he was telling
  the whole truth.

  Voldemort was definitely scheming like a man in solitary confinement.
  All you have is yourself and your mind, and Voldie only *had* the
  later.  Frankly he seems more bent on getting back to a body, and then
  his own body, than immortality.  Why Voldemort did not make his own
  Sorcerer's Stone long before is beyond me.  Seems a brilliant man like
  him, or Dumbledore, could manage it.

  But I digress, VaporMort in the woods wants to succeed.  Being bested
  by a one year old baby is poison for the ego.  And has been said
  earlier, ego is the driving motivator of a Slytherin...Voldemort must
  show the present WW and himself that he is most powerful and is
  capable of being the greatest.  The way he chooses to show them is by
  being immortal and by destroy who he wishes.

  Voldemort felt threatened before he went after the Potters and still
  does.  He believes that someone or something is standing between him
  and his goals. (immortality, king over all kings, ability to torture
  those bunnies...)  How he knows that something is standing in his way
  is not stated in the canon...yet.  Many muse here that it is
  Trelawney's prediction or something to do with Potter's lineage.
  Which it is does not really matter to this post, so we'll just say
  that there is evident that Voldemort has *reason* to fear the
  existence of a Potter.

  Now Dumbledore feels it necessary to protect Harry.  He goes to great
  lengths to do so.  Under this assumption, we can deduce that
  Dumbledore believes Voldemort is still a threat and that Harry is
  still in danger.  (I know, I know, did not take a lot of logic to
  figure that one out.  Calm down.)  Now, having Harry *securely*
  protected by relatives and Mrs. Figg for 10 years and able to watch
  Harry by his wizard watch, <g> , Dumbledore can relax just a bit.  He,
  nor anyone else, i.e. Snape, does not go after Voldemort nor does he
  try to convince the MoM that Voldemort is still a threat.  Dumbledore
  does not seem to believe that Voldemort will come around for a while.

  I am tap-dancing around to say that Dumbledore knows that Voldemort's
  mind is bent to destroying Harry.  As if Harry is the one thing
  standing between Voldie and all his goals.  Voldemort, somehow, knows
  that Harry is well protected and knows he cannot get to him.  I do not
  believe Voldemort when he said that "Surely, one of my faithful Death
  Eaters would try and find me...but I waited in vain" (GoF ch 33).  He
  knows too much to be completely alone for 10 whole years.

  Now it could be coincident that Voldie remerged at the same time
  Potter left his safety net, or it could be that Voldie might as well
  wait for 10 long years until he could get himself a body and get to
  Harry.  Voldemort knew Harry would be going to school in 10 years and
  would be out of his air-tight protection.  Even Hogwarts, as protected
  as it is, is more vulnerable than Privet Drive.

  Dumbledore, knowing Voldemort's desires, uses this to bring Voldemort
  to his playing field.   Dumbledore seems to be taunting Voldemort by
  saying, "Look, I have the two things you want.  I dare you."  After
  all, Dumbledore has also had 10 years to plan this showdown.  If they
  manage to capture Voldemort and force upon him a way to destroy him
  then the war is over.  Obviously they cannot kill the body Voldie
  possess, as learned in PS/SS.  The question is whether Dumbledore knew
  this before PS/SS?

  Dumbledore places the pieces to destroy Voldemort into the scene.  A
  lone Harry facing the present form of Voldemort.  With the many
  blocking spells and enchantment by the teachers, Harry and Co. do not
  believe they were meant to do what they were doing.  The tasks also
  removed Ron and Hermione leaving Harry to face QuirrelMort alone.
  Maybe the same magic that protected Harry before can help him
  here...which it does.  It blisters Quirrel away.  So, Harry does
  thwart the stone scheme, but doesn't kill Voldemort this time.
  Dumbledore now knows that Voldie can only be killed in his own body.

  So after the stone and mirror, Dumbledore has to change his plan.
  This is where MAGICAL DISHWASHER comes into play.  Dumbledore knows
  that it must be lone Harry and a physical Voldemort now.  So all
  Dumbledore has to do is prepare and school Harry and set up a
  situation where he can help control the possible variables.  How
  Dumbledore knows that it must be this combination falls back on to the
  question of predictions and lineage.

  I hope I explained this well.  Basically this theory as well as MD is
  based on the fact that there is always more going on that what a child
  perceives, and adults always knows more than a child gives them credit.
