GEO: Because according to Rowling, Voldemort has never actually 
known love in the personal form and that is the key reason he is the 
way he is. He knows about love as a motivation, but he has never 
experienced it thus you could indeed say that it is something he 
knows not.

GEO: The actual two questions were why did Voldemort survive and why 
didn't Dumbledore try and kill Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic. 
We already know Harry survived the first time because of the shield 
of maternal protection that protected Harry from the killing curse 
and allowed the curse to rebound back and deprive Voldemort of a 
body.
