Ah... good old Voldemort, absolutely supreme in his own arrogance, a
self-proclaimed Lord with a capital 'L', a megalomaniac who is so full
of himself as to believe that his words and actions are divine and
flawless.

It's amazing how blind and careless being an absolute supreme being
will make you. When you think about it, even with the little
information we have, it is easy to see that Voldemort's 'Rebirth'
potion is hopelessly flawed, and will certainly be a major
contributing factor to his doom.

Let's explore-
1.) Bone of his father - except that he killed his own father. Does
that corrupt the spell? Can you take the gift of life from someone
who's life you have taken? 

2.) Flesh of a servant willingly given - first, I don't think it was
all that 'willingly' given. More like reluctantly given, or
desparately given. My guess is that Wormtail would have sooner done
anything ELSE rather than given his flesh, but what choice did he
have? He is a person without friends, family, home, or country,
abandoned by all; worse than abandoned, he is the enemy of all.
Voldemort is the only person on earth who will have him, without
Voldemort, Wormtail is no better that Vapormort, doomed to total
exile. True Wormtail donated his flesh by his own actions, but I don't
think in an emotional sense, he was all that willing.

The so-called 'willing' flesh was donated by someone who owes his life
to Voldemort's foe, Harry. That certainly has to corrupt the spell.
Now not only does Voldemort carry Wormtail's flesh, but with that
flesh comes a piece of life debt. Voldemort owes his life to someone
who owes their life to Harry; talk about irony. 

Let's look at Wormtails allegance. He owes Voldemort his safety.
Voldemort protects him from potential threats of death. He owes Harry
his life; Harry saved him from immeditate imminent death. To whom does
he owe the greater allegance. 

3.) Blood of a foe forcibly take - except that blood was tainted by
the one thing that Voldemort can't understand; love. Within that blood
is contained a force of love that is unprecidented in the world. A
force of love that defeated the undefeatable, that blocked the
unblockable, that saved the unsavable. And we must remember that this
force in not neutral, it is fueled by love, and no matter how much
magical power and hatred Voldemort has, it will be counter to this new
force of love he has to deal with; opposing rather than unifying forces.

4.) The curse and the blood - When Voldemort tried to curse Harry, he
transferred some of his own power into Harry, so Voldemort is in a
sense fighting himself, or fighting against his own power. I don't
think he fully realizes this. I don't think he understands that he can
never be a greater wizard that Harry, it would be like trying to beat
yourself at chess, there is no way to win, no way to be greater when
your opponent has all your power plus his own. 

And now, Voldemort has Harry's blood; true, he has gained some
protection, but now a counter force, a force that goes against
everything he stands for lives inside him and works against him. 

Voldemort lives inside Harry making Harry stronger, and through the
scar connection, I speculate, as Voldemort now gets stronger, he also
strengthens Harry. Harry lives inside Voldemort weakening him, working
against everything that Voldemort stands for. As Harry becomes
stronger and the force of love grows greater in his life, so to in
proportion will Voldemort grow weaker.

Voldemort.... you're an idiot, a hopeless delusional self-absorbed idiot. 

Just a thought.
