What would be the point of attacking Voldemort if not to kill him?  
IMO, nothing short of complete inihilation will stop Voldemort.  I 
think it would take much more to stop Voldemort than it did to stop 
Myrtle.  What do we think Vapormort is really made of?  Is he a soul 
in search of a body?  According to Hagrid's definition of being alive-
Voldemort had not been "alive" for some time, even before the AK 
backfired.  IMO, Dumbledore and Hagrid also believe that the soul is 
indestructable and as long as its floating around out there it cannot 
be completely stopped.  Was the WW including Dumbledore and Hagrid, 
aware that Voldemort was "experimenting" with the concept of 
immortality? -and that these experiments could have added to his 
indestructibility in vapor form?  This idea is probably the only part 
of MD I do agree with.  IMO, Dumbledore does consider Vapormort a 
realistic threat to Harry-why else create all the protection?  Can we 
say that Dumbledore is certain of this threat?  IMO, no.  But 
apparently, he does consider it a possibility and decided to rule on 
the side of caution.
