Juli: What I'm thinking is WHY would a grown wizard fear a one year 
old baby? profecy or not, what could he do? Harry didn't defeat or 
whatever LV the first time, it was Lily, she's the one that left that 
ancient magic that made de AK backfire. LV doesn't know the whole 
profecy, he just heard the first sentence (the one with the power to 
defeat the Dark Lord will be born as the 7th month ends). Sure he 
must fear Harry, but only because the prophecy. Harry's never been an 
extremely good wizard, he's good, nor excellent. Dumbledore on the 
other hand is *the best wizard of our times*, he knows black magic 
(although he's too noble to use it), maybe even more than LV, plus he 
knows white magic a LOT (which I doubt LV really knows). So he's 
extremly powerful, he knows everyone, he's got connections, he's the 
Wizenmagot's chief, he usually knows what LV is up to, could have 
been MoM. Am I forgetting something? Of course he's feared, I would 
fear him too!! Besides, DD was fighting LV long before Harry was 
born. So maybe he can't kill LV, but he sure can hurt him, and they 
can duel (when LV duels, he just goes AK, nobody has time to answer), 
DD could probably leave him tied up or something until Harry was able 
to vanquish him for good.
