"Why didn't Dumbledore try to kill Voldemort...?"

JKR says that that is one of the two questions that people should ask 
but haven't asked.  Well, I feel the reason why people haven't asked 
it is because the answer is given to us in the Prophecy in Book 5...

JKR  tells us that only Harry can kill V and D knows it.  I feel that 
D is stalling when he stands up to V in the MoM, when he tells V that 
there are things "worse than death".  He can only defend Harry by 
putting things in the path of V's would-be death curse.  We all know 
that D cannot kill V.

Maybe what JKR is referring to pertains to the things that V did to 
himself to try and gain immortality.  I feel that Harry may be the 
only one who could penetrate this "wall" that may be surrounding V.

Now, I'm really babbling on....  Any thoughts?
