I have been considering the same questions for some time, as well as 
the prophecy.  If V's spell rebounded as he says it did as a result of 
Lily's sacrifice, and if he had taken some kind of step to protect 
himself from death (immortality was what he was mainly about) it would 
explain several things:

1.  The wording of the prophecy says that either will die *at* the hand 
of the other not *by* the hand of the other.  At hand normally means 
*near* not *as a result of.
*2.  The wand chooses the wizard.  Harry's wand, duplicate of V's chose 
him for some reason.
3.  Harry speaks parseltongue as does V.
4.  Suppose the wording of the prophecy was changed to read "neither can 
live *if* the other survives".   Not much difference but it changes the 
whole meaning.
5.  We know Dumbledore lies because JKR said he did while talking to 
Voldemort.
6.  Harry said that he thought occlumency was making him worse.  What if 
he was right?
7.  Suppose Snape treats Harry badly because he knows what Dumbledore has 
planned, believes that it must happen, and can't afford to actually see 
Harry as a person?  Everybody believes that Snape's hatred of James is a 
pretty weak reason for hating Harry.
8.  It was only mentioned once that Dumbledore killed the other dark 
wizard (his name escapes me).
so we know that he is not the benevolent wizard he appears to be.
9.  Suppose Dumbledore left Harry at the Dursleys because he did not want 
Harry raised in a loving household, suppose he wanted him raised in a 
way that would aid in creating the environment necessary for Voldemort 
to make use of him.
10.  At the end of Ootp Harry thinks Dumbledore is weak and can't be 
trusted, he hates Snape with a passion, he is pushing Ron and Hermione 
away from him, he has lost Sirius.  He is getting darker.  
It's all very interesting.
