Now Shirley (me):

Well, that's an interesting thought that I haven't pondered before.  
Do we know if Voldy has ever tried to kill Dumbledore?  We know that 
several people have said that DD is the only wizard that Voldy ever 
feared, but we don't really know why, do we?

Shirley, who thought she had sworn off reading these posts until she 
finished re-reading all 5 books, in order to come to her own 
conclusions.... (sadly, she failed on the first part :-))
