At least in America, not so much now, but years ago, people used the

The term, really does not mean being afraid of God, but the "fear" 
portion means more like , respect, honor, reverence.

Perhaps the term *feared* may be applied here.  Not that Voldy is 
afraid of DD, in the scaredy-cat sense,  but in a twisted way, has 
the respect, honor, reverence for him, at least for his abilities.  
The supreme nemesis.

I think you are VERY right on this!  It (at least to me) makes 
the fear Voldemort has of Dumbledore much more 
understandable!  This statement as well as the one 
someone made about Voldemort thinks the only way 
Harry can only defeat him with DD's guidance, (imo)
are the most plausible answers I've gotten on the subject.

But there is still the question of why Voldemort doesn't 
seem to have any type of fear, or respect for Harry knowing
only he can defeat him.  Does anyone have thoughts on this?
