Agreed, to a point.  My slight variation - Dumbledore and Sirius are 
both aware the V will certainly try to regain his immortality status 
once he is again "alive" enough to become immortal (Vapormort not 
counting in that regard).  It's likely that V's top priority is to 
regain that immortality as soon as possible, and no doubt the DEs 
will make sure that anyone coming to look for V in his vulnerable 
(read: mortal) state will meet a quick (or, depending on their mood, 
not-so-quick) death.  And it's not likely that they can find V now, 
even if they knew where the graveyard was, as he's likely fled to 
some unknown location.  (My guess is that Snape has some folks he can 
bully for that kind of info, and that's where he went at the end of 
GoF).

So, just when Dumbledore and Sirius determine that their worst fears 
are realized, Harry tells them that Voldemort used Harry's blood.  
This is good news!  Why?  Well, that ancient spell V used to rebirth 
himself had a little footnote...  If the foe whose blood is forcibly 
taken stays alive, that person will always have the power to kill V, 
regardless of any immortality enchantments.  That means Harry, and 
only Harry, can kill V once the immortality kicks in.  The gleam 
vanishes right away, because DD realises that if the DEs and V wanted 
Harry dead before, they'll *REALLY* want him dead now!  The effort it 
will take to keep Harry alive will be monumental, hence the look of 
weariness.  (I don't agree with the idea that killing V will kill 
Harry as well... no proof, just my feel for how this is progressing).
