If I may, I'd like to add another very similar reference which is 
made later on in the book - Ch.36, p 814 in my US copy:  During the 
battle at the ministry Voldemort says, "There is nothing worse than 
death, Dumbledore!"  To which Dumbledore responds, "You are quite 
wrong... Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things 
much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness---"

I can't help but think that this will prove very significant in the 
downfall of Voldemort.  Whether it's the "Bat Bogey Hex" that brings 
him down, well... we'll have to see.  :)

topic.
