Dumbledore's guidance.

My 4 cents,

Chancie:
Since my post I believe your statement above most clearly states the 
answer that I was looking for.  As I stated in my original post, I am 
not disputing the fact that Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard alive, 
and although I didn't include it, that he has vast knowledge of the
Dark Arts but refuses to use them.  My real meaning in posting this 
question was to try and see why, knowing only Harry can defeat 
Voldemort, was he not more afraid of Harry.  It does make since
to say that Voldemort believes that Harry can only defeat him with 
guidance from Dumbledore.  But still I wonder why, knowing what little 
parts of the prophecy that he does, Voldemort constantly
underestimates Harry?  Another poster stated, Why would a powerful
wizard like Voldemort fear a 1 year old baby (sorry, I can't remember
who).  My first thought on this is I agree with that up until the point
that Voldemort tried to AK Harry, but after that, I would think that 
he would start to take Harry more seriously!

But again getting to the quote above... I believe you are very right 
that Voldemort thinks Harry can't win without DD's help.  Does this
make anyone else nervous?  

Chancie~who hopes the next to die won't be Dumbledore!!!!!
