O.K., this really bothers me.  Why didn't DD try to kill Voldemort at 
the MOM in OOP?

I know he told LV, "There are worse things than death."  But, so what? 
It seems to me that, if LV is the most evil wizard in recent history, 
DD would have at least tried to kill him.

He didn't try to kill LV b/c he believes there are worse things than 
death?  What kind of justification is that for the persons LV will 
torture or kill after his escape from the MOM????

Why wouldn't DD try to spare the WW (and the Muggle world for that 
matter) any further death/destruction caused by LV?

(Obviously, I don't believe the prophesy means that only Harry (or 
whomever "the one" is), can kill Voldemort.)

Because (regardless of the various theories that we in the fandom hatch) 
Dumbledore believes in the prophecy and he apparently believes that only Harry can 
vanquish Voldemort.
