Voldemort issued strict instructions that NOBODY should kill Harry
Potter, they should just capture him, and it's not difficult to figure
out why. Voldemort tried to kill Harry, I don't know how often I've
lot count, a dozen times or so. And Voldemort has failed each and
every time! How would it look if some low ranking Death Eater
accomplished something mighty Lord Voldemort could not? Dictators are
very sensitive to that sort of thing. It really would be bad public
relations, and like any other celebrity Voldemort has to think about
his image.
