That's your opinion, it's not a fact.

what do you mean it's not a fact? j.k Rowling wrote it. She wants you to know he didn't hear the full thing. why else did voldemort goto attack harry and loose his body? because he didn't her the full prophecy.

Remember Dunbeldore says there are worse things than death and physical pain and that is what Voldemort doesn't understand. Dumbeldore might want the ultimate punishment for Voldemort, and death would be the quick way out. Maybe he wants Voldemort captured alive because only Voldemort knows the identity of all the Death Eaters.

Harry, being ‘the one’, has the power to ‘vanquish’ the Dark Lord. Vanquish is a term meaning ‘to defeat or conquer in battle’.

It would not be too presumptuous therefore, if we were to assume that there will be an end ‘battle’, in which one of either Harry or Voldemort will be victorious.

The term ‘vanquish’ however does not necessarily mean kill. It can also mean ‘to overcome and subdue’.

Vanquished guys, has a typical JKR meaning, ie you're ASSUMING it means kill, but not necessarily.
*** this is my lifes ambition, to get you all quoting Vanquished, Vanquished, not killed***

Toodle pip!!

he did not do it coz he is not supposedly doing what he is not supposed to do, the prophecy matters most in the wizarding world!

not only that but the only time voldemort had a time to strike and kill voldemort was when he was weak and fused in harrys body. but in order to kill voldemort at the time he would have to kill harry. it wouldn't have proved nothing at the time anyway because hes still got other souls out there.

The only time Dumbeldore had the chance to kill Voldemort in the ministry was when he was fused with harry. So there fore Harry's life would have been taken and the prophecy's would have been finished then. Voldemort would have been victorious because he has 6 other soul bits out there.
