My (melanie) reply:  Well I have a little bit of textual references for this granted I'm taking a big step by doing saying this.  I think that Dumbledore in particular showed some love to Tom Riddle, the vunerable and somewhat innocent boy that became Lord Voldemort.  
One scene in a particular shows this to me and it is in COS.  Forgive me for no quotes,  I am currently at work and I do not have my books with me at the time.  But during the pensieve scene Dumbledore asks Tom if there is anything at ALL that he wanted to talk about.  This is very similar to the way that Dumbledore talks to Harry and we know for a fact that Dumbledore loves Harry.  I personally believe that he also loved Tom and still loves the boy behind the dark lord.  
 
Perhaps this is why Lord Voldemort fears Dumbledore the most, it is not a strength or skill mechanism.  But in Tom's mind the one person that he has ever become the closest to loving was Albus Dumbledore.  
 
I'm not sure if this makes any sense at all but I'm trying my best.
