LV's death in the battle at DOM would no doubt be a HUGE blow to the 
DEs, no?<



Bohcoo responds:

DD did not choose not to kill LV -- DD did not even try to kill LV 
because he knows that he can't kill LV. Only Harry Potter can kill 
LV -- and DD did NOT want LV to know that. Even if DD had given it 
everything he had there in the DOM lobby, he would not have been able 
to kill LV. No one can. Only Harry Potter.

That is what the prophecy is all about -- and why everyone was/is 
doing everything in their power to keep LV from hearing it in its 
entirety. 

Meanwhile, DD is doing everything in his power to get Harry "trained 
up" as quickly as he can so when LV finally realizes he MUST kill 
Harry, Harry will at least have a fighting chance. Up until this 
point, LV considers Harry nothing more than a nuisance -- as someone 
to be killed merely to get him out of the way -- finish up old 
business -- show the world he can kill Harry, but only because he 
failed to do so in the past. He does not yet know that his very 
survival depends on killing Harry before Harry kills him.

And that is Dumbledore's very mission in life -- to keep this 
information secret from LV and to prepare Harry Potter to be 
successful in ultimately killing Lord Voldemort. Unfortunately, DD 
will be forced to do some things toward that end that will hurt many 
other people -- including, alas, Harry.
