Jim:
The gleam in the eye made  me think that Dumbledore realized
something that Voldemort overlooked. Earlier on Dumbledore
mentioned that Voldemort didn't pay attention to old magic
and that led to his downfall. I would guess that he overlooked
something again in his haste to overcome the blood protection
that Lily left in Harry. What he overlooked I don't know.
Dumbledore's knowledge of blood magic seems superior to
Voldemort's. (blood protection at the Dursley's & twelve uses
of dragon's blood)
