Might I add a possible #4?  That Voldy is fearful because he does 
not EXPECT Harry to be able to duel with him?  He has--at least 
outwardly--been belittling Harry and implying that he's a nothing.  
Then the duel begins, and Harry proves to be QUITE strong.  Voldy 
has to be shocked both by the "reappearance" of his previous victims 
and by Harry's ability to hang in there in the battle.  I would 
think that might strike true terror into him, esp. when he 
presumably thought he would be able to deal with Potter in quite 
short order.
