Antosha:
DD makes it clear that the once and future Tom has gotten a bit wise in his old age--he 
seems to have realized that he CAN'T kill Harry--unless it is accord with the prophecy. 
Therefore, he has become obsessed with obtaining the prophecy--until the terms of his 
future are clear to him, he cannot force that future into fruition; he can't kill Harry, and 
(since the part of the prophecy of which he was informed stated that Harry--or Neville--
had it in his power to destroy LV) he can never rest secure in the knowledge that he has 
outflown death until that first objective is reliably achieved.
