Now, as I finally finshed OOTP last night I began to think about all 
the times it has been said in the wizarding world that Dumbledore is 
the only wizard Voldemort ever feared.  We even were treated to a 
climactic chapter with the title name as the two powerful wizards 
finally dueled.  However, after hearing about the prophecy, and 
knowing as we do that Voldemort knew the first part of it, I don't 
think that Voldemort fears Albus Dumbledore at all.  He knows that 
Dumbledore has no chance of killing him, for it is said in the 
prophecy that the only wizard with the power to defeat Voldemort 
once and for all is the boy born at the end of july sixteen years 
ago, to parents who had thrice defied the dark lord.  Voldemort 
knows this.  And that leads us to the obvious conclusion that the 
only wizard Voldemort fears is Harry Potter, for he knows that only 
Harry can bring his downfall.  After all, Voldie hasn't dedicated 
his life to trying to kill ALbus Dumbledore.  Just wanted to see 
what everyone's feelings were on this subject.
