>> DD does not kill LV for many reasons. The main one is that DD is a
wise and holy man. He knows that to AK someone only bring move evil
back into the world and transforms the killer into the same type of
person that he killed. ("do not return evil for evil" was said by
Jesus for a reason. And it is repeated in other religions as well.
Even real witches (Wicca) today say "the evil you send out will come
back to you 3 fold".)

So there is a valid reason not to resort to the same type of tactics
that LV uses. We often hear folks tell us not to stoop to the same
level as our enemies. Enemies such as LV expect others to use the
same methods that they use. And if we do use the same methods, they
win. DD knows this. DD knows it better than anyone because he has
seen much in his 150+ years.

DD knows that there are other ways to defeat LV. And I am sure that
we, along with Harry, will learn them in the books to come.  >>

Bonnie Now:  

I would love to know how DD defeated the "dark wizard Grindelwald in 
1945".  I wonder if we will ever be told about that.  I keep 
forgetting that DD has had previous experience fighting dark wizards.

Also as was mentioned way back when.  DD may not have tried to kill 
LV because he knew Harry is "The one with the power to vanquish the 
Dark Lord" and he doesn't want LV turning into 'vapormort' again 
because DD wants LV to remain mortal so that he CAN be vanquished for 
good next time.  Maybe?
