If he didn't, he is more pathetic than I could have imagine. I can think far 
better strategies to take care of a group of kids, and I'm not a 70 year old 
absolutely powerful wizard, so if it wasn't a smoke curtain, even to kill 
Sirius or to rob a timeturner, Voldemort has lost every bit of interest that 
could have for me. 

Why caring about Harry's future if Voldie is so lame, Harry should just wait 
and Voldie would kill himself, in and accident unadvertedly provoqued by 
Harry, so the prophecy fullfills.

If Voldie is so lame, then the second prophecy will never fullfill, because 
the Dark Lord won't raise more powerfull and terrible. He can't, he is so 
lame that the best he can do is a terribly low kill-count in wich he loses 
the mayority of his DE.

So I prefer to think that move was intentional and he had a plan B, just to be 
able to consider that Voldemort isn't so lame.
