There is one thing that Dumbledore mentions in OotP. He says (roughly
paraphrased) that he cared too much for Harry's well being and his
happiness to let him in on the truth. He also says that he didn't care
how many people died (poorly paraphrased, sorry book's not on me). So
I think that Dumbledore perhaps was probably a bit too into the war
with Voldie at the beginning, but began to soften up as the weapon,
AKA Harry, actually took human form and grew in front of his eyes. Not
only is Harry the weapon that could stop Voldie, but he is actually a
friend and someone DD cares about now. IT is a bit of a predicament,
don't you think? So perhaps DD was in on a lot of the conspiracy,
though it probably did not happen how he calculated perhaps. I don't
see him as allowing the Potters to be killed, and like someone
mentioned before, I dont see the Potters saying, "sure, let old voldie
 come and try to kill my son so that he might be able to stop him one
day." I think perhaps DD   had gotten into making the  prophacy
happen, yet since he would not know that the parents would die and
such, nor does the marking like an equal make much sense, he probably
tried to play that one by ear, hoping for the best, but got the worst.
And not only does the new weapon half kill Voldie, but he lives a
miserable life until he goes to Hogwarts, and has to have a yearly
battle against the dark side. He sees this weapon as a person, but one
who has to live miserably to save Wizard and Muggle kind everywhere. I
think that he regrets ever having to put Harry up to it, but it was
too late already, and it is time for Harry accept his fate. 

Sawsan, 
who is rambling because the thought is on the tip of her tongue, but
is too tired to make much sense.
