Martha quotes:
One last point, then. From UK edition, page718:

" 'You do not seek to kill me, Dumbledore?' called Voldemort, his 
scarlet eyes narrowed over the top of the shield. 'Above such 
brutality, are you?'

'We both know there are other ways of destroying a man, Tom,' 
Dumbledore said calmly [...] 'Merely taking your life would not 
satisfy me, I admit -' "

Martha says: "It's all about power, I tell you."

Lisa (me)here: I couldn't agree more with Martha's take on DD's 
actions and LV's reactions in this scene, and had to giggle. DD's 
words reduce LV to a tantrum-throwing 4 yr old (albeit a rather more 
deadly one). The despised childhood name incenses him,and he loses 
control. 

But I have to ask: is DD imprudent (irresponsible, even?) in choosing 
NOT to kill LV on the spot while (presumably) he could? LV's death in 
the battle at DOM would no doubt be a HUGE blow to the DEs, no?

U_P_D

I believe that DD only has the ability to disrupt LV to the same extent as Harry's effect on him when he was one year old. This would give (mabe) 5 or 10 years for Harry to gain in magical power. 

Sounds good?

We keep getting told how old and worn Dumbledor is looking, would he still be around at LV's rebirth?  This could be a big problem because as well as what he does for Harry he keeps the MOM in order etc.

What it is that HP has that will be the final downfall of LV we don't know. But it is quite possible that he has it now and we won't find out what it is untill book 7
