Voldemort at the MoM

Now, as I'm very new to this group, I haven't read all the 
posts....not will I ever probably get through all of them, although I 
am definitely trying. Something I've been thinking about (and please 
forgive me if I'm rehashing as really over-talked about idea) is 
Voldemort at the MoM.

The DEs make fun of Harry for thinking Voldemort could just 
walk into the MoM (or something like that....my books are across the 
ocean right now) to get the Prophecy, but isn't that what he does in 
the end? I'm really confused about how Harry and the gang don't see 
anyone when they first go into the Ministry, then Voldemort shows up 
and still no one is around, and then he disapparates or whatever, and 
suddenly people are all around in their pyjamas! Whatever magic was 
done to make Harry's path clear to get through the MoM to the DoM 
without any real difficulties, why couldn't that be done for 
Voldemort? Usually I'm not a fan of why didn't characters do this or 
that questions...but this one is getting too me...

So, any theories/ideas? Do you think this will be something JKR will 
get to later in the series? Or did I miss something really big, and 
consequently will feel like a big idiot after this?

Cheers,
Danni
