Bonnie now:

I have to agree Voldy is "very determined", I'm not so sure about 
the "sane" part.  I'm wondering if his elevator goes to the top 
floor.  Wouldn't a normal lad pack his bags and go to the beach or 
something?  Surely he has enough galleons to fund a good vacation.  
Let's face it, by now he must be permanently obsessed with defeating 
Harry in a major big showy way.  He has to to save face.  I wonder if 
being King of the WW is even his motive anymore.  All Voldy wants is 
to get rid of Harry.

If I were in his evil shoes, I would kidnap Hermione or Ginny.  As 
has been shown Harry does have a "saving people" problem.  His plan 
almost worked in OOTP.  We know Harry would be off to save whoever, 
even if he did know he was being set up.  Voldy just needs to find a 
better crew of helpers, or oversee them better.

Maybe deep down under his slimy skin Voldy is secretly terrified of 
confronting Harry personally yet again, one on one.  Maybe that's why 
he keeps putting it off.  Voldy has a huge procrastination problem.  
He doesn't want to become "VaperVoldy" again.  That was a really 
unpleasant experience.

I say subconsciously he's really really scared of Harry.
