Valky:
I'd like to go with this suggestion and relate a thought that has 
been floating in my mind for a few days now. 
I am starting to bend towards an impression that a redemption for Tom 
Riddle maybe in the minds of many.
I am seeing the gleam in Dumbledore's eye at the end of GOF as a 
triumph not of a conquering nature, but a compassionate one.

The supposed reason LV took Harry's blood was because of the touch of 
selfless love that resided in it. 
Allude to a statement by DD " If there is one thing Voldemort cannot 
understand it is Love"

I am suggesting that LV did not recognise the protection in Harry's 
blood as anything else but power. It was more than that, but blinded 
by his vision of dominance LV did not see it for what it was.

THe way I see it Tom Riddle as a young boy was seeking love and 
kinship. He was lured by the pursuit of absolute power and discarded 
the boy he once was to become Voldemort. 
As Voldemort he rejected love and even hated it. 

I am thinking that "love" has never penetrated the hard shell of 
Voldemort since he shed Tom Riddle.
Perhaps, the triumph is that Lily's love for Harry now runs in 
Voldemorts veins and he may no longer be able to hide Tom from the 
desire he once had. Maybe there is a hope in DD that the wide-eyed 
innocent that stepped of the boat in 1938 may be able to struggle 
back into existence. 

hmmmm wonder if that makes any sense
