>Can you give me the examples of what Dumbledore had been doing which 
does not concern Harry, but concerns anti-Voldemort efforts?<

Betsy:
See my answer to Pheonixgod's list of suggestions.  I think I include 
some tangible non-Harry-centric action there. :)

>By the way, how do we know that Voldemort is no longer immortal? He 
sure was conducting many experiments prior to trying to get a stone, 
who knows, maybe he already achieved immortality and just wanted 
Stone for extra security ( just speculating here).<

Betsy:
"But my plan failed.  I did not manage to steal the Sorcerer's 
Stone.  I was not to be assured immortal life.  I was thwarted..." 
(GoF Scholastic Hardback p. 654)

"There was no hope of stealing the Sorcerer's Stone anymore, for I 
knew that Dumbledore would have seen to it that it was destroyed.  
But I was willing to embrace mortal life again, before chasing 
immortality.  I set my sights lower... I would settle for my old body 
back again, and my old strength.
"I knew that to achieve this -- it is an old piece of Dark Magic, the 
potion that revived me tonight..."  (ibid p. 656)
