What is really interesting about this is that Voldemort insists on 
using Harry's blood.  When that rat Wormtail tells him that "any 
wizard would serve the same purpose", Voldemort is adamant that it 
must be Harry.  I think, as far as the prophecy goes, that when LV 
tried to kill Harry as a baby, he is the one that chose Harry, thus 
sealing Harry's fate as  being the one. Which Of course he has no 
way of knowing this because he does not know the whole thing.  My 
opinion is, that the "gleam of triumph" in DD's eye when he found 
out about Harry's blood being used is simply that it will make LV 
more vulnerable to this power that Harry has, and LV doesn't.  Which 
i believe caused LV to abandon his attempt to possess Harry in the 
MoM...the power was too much for LV.  LV underestimates the power of 
love/of the heart.  I also think that the look DD had moments after 
the gleam of triumph was just his heart breaking for Harry.  He does 
love Harry...and knows what LV being reborn will mean for him.
