I'm sure you are right, Dumbledore has been thinking about what he
will do when Voldemort comes back, but not knowing when or how that
would happen doesn't give him much to work with. 

He can't make specific plans until he has something specific to react
too. That's like planning for World Was III. Yes, you have to be ready
for it, but you are very limited in your ability to making specific plans.

So, contrary to those who believe that Dumbledore is the master
manipulator, and that he has and has had every person he comes in
contact with for the last 15 years dancing like puppet on a string, I
think there is very little Dumbledore can do.

Just a thought.
