Right! and it's not the only time when LV turns out to be an 
incompetent villain. Actually I don't think he's really dangerous. 
Just consider:
- in PhS, LV and Quirell together proved to be about as competent as 
a bunch of first years'
- in CoS young Riddle had brains enough to use a third party (Ginny) 
to do the killings, but it did not occur to him that "less talk, more 
action" attitude may serve better in winning the final fight
- In GoF, LV made a stupid mistake of keeping Harry alive after he 
had got the blood he needed. What for? To show that he's stronger 
that a teenager? C'mon...
- In Oop, why did he need Harry at all? He could have heard the 
Prophecy himself or "ask" other people who mihgt have heard it years 
ago - not Dumbledore, of course, but Trelawney or the barman or some 
other innocent bystander.
