Thank you Tonks , Zgirnius and Somedaylive (I am new too) I was thrilled
to have replies. I considered the aurguments all day and have my own
theory of what Dumbledore was being forced to endure by drinking the
potion in the cave.

      In the climax of Order of the Phonix, Voldemort fuses himself with
Harry causing Harry unendurable pain.  Harry ends up hoping Dumbledore
will kill them both to end the pain

       In The Half Blood Prince ,Under the influence of the potion
Dumbledore also seems to be experiencing unendurable pain . He also
cries out for death to end the pain.  Voldemort has a history of
infiltrating a victims entire being. I think the potion was his way of
pouring himself into his victim.

      Voldemort has designed the whole horcrux protection so that only a
"Very, great wizard" could have any chance of succeding. I think
Voldemort had Dumbledore in mind when he created the potion in the first
place.

      What would make Dumbledore say " It's all my fault. I know I did
wrong..." and the most telling of all "Don't hurt them don't hurt them,
please, please, it's my fault, hurt me instead..."

      Could it be that Voldemort knew Dumbledore felt a sense of
responsiblity for all the evil things innocent people suffered at his
hands?

      It was Dumbledore that sought out Tom Riddle and brought him into
the wizarding world. He taught Tom at Hogwarts effectivly giving him all
the tools he would need to become the most powerful Dark Wizard.
Dumbeldore never warned anyone as to what he knew Tom's true dark and
sadistic nature to be.

      Voldemort may have enjoyed the idea of Dumbledore willfully
choosing to drink cup after cup -allowing himself to be held hostage all
for the hope of destroying his horcrux. He probably felt sure Dumbledore
would never know he had six of them.

      I think the potion gave Voldemort full access to Dumbledore's mind
and worst fears and perhaps made Dumbledore witness all the tourchers
and murders of the men women and children who are now the inferi
gaurding the horcrux.

      The 12  golblets full of potion were designed to allow Voldemort to
mentally tourcher Dumbledore until he cried out for his own death.
Voldemort had planned that he must drink a thirteenth goblet full of the
of the icy water which would call forth the wrath of the army of the
dead and his own physical death .
