Actually, Voldemort only tells Harry to join him in order to avoid 
dying like his parents.

"'Don't be a fool,' snarled the face.  'Better save your own life 
and join me ... or you'll meet the same end as your parents...They 
died begging me for mercy...'" PS, paperback p 213.

I wasn't positive about this either until I checked the book, but it 
appears that the bit about bringing Harry's parents back was only 
added to the movie version and I remember being jarred by it at the 
time.  It definitely isn't in the book.
