Albus Dumbledore is a more powerful wizard then Voldemort.

Ah. .. The Fun part " Albus Dumbledore was the only one Voldemort has ever feared. This is mentioned throughout the series. " I would have liked you to have expanded on this point. Why was he afraid? Did Voldemort fear his skills? Or Dumbledore's mind? I think that Voldemort did not fear the skills of Albus, but rather his genius, his mind, his values. This stems from the fact that Dumbledore saw through the illusions of Tom Riddle when the brilliant student was at Hogwarts. The oh-so charming boy was every teachers favorite, but not Dumbledore. No. Albus knew what was in the inside of the boy and Tom knew that Albus knew. This would have led to Tom fearing that the truth about him would be revealed. The fear of the genius of the professor continued into adulthood and may have affected Voldemort in the duel in the atrium. The fear is only of Dumbledore's knowledge. Now, before you go "HYPOCRITE! You said Knowledge is Power! " Dumbledore admitted that Voldemort has more extensive knowledge of magic then any other wizard. This again proves that Voldemort is more powerful and that he ash nothing about Albus to fear. "Voldemort couldn't, then wouldn't attempt to kill Albus, himself" First of all, Voldemort was not at max power at the time of the duel in the atrium. If the fight had been later the fight might have not been a stand-still. Plus at the time Albus was using the Elder Wand, boosting his power immensely. If the two fought at max power (WITHOUT a wand that makes a wizard vs. wizard duel into a wizard vs. wizard and wand duel) Voldemort would have won. My whole point is that Voldemort was still recovering from being reborn and NOT at max strength at the time of the duel at the atrium. In the second part of your second point you mentioned that Voldemort did NOT go to kill Dumbledore himself instead having his lackeys do the dirty work. "In Half Blood Prince, Voldemort sent others (Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape) to kill Albus. Malfoy was unsuccessful. While Snape was indeed successful in ending Albus' life, little did Voldemort know at the time, that it wasn't carried through under his orders, at all,I see no other reason why Voldemort wouldn't want to keep trying to kill Albus himself, unless their duel made it clear to him, that he, himself couldn't. If Voldemort were to be more powerful, that wouldn't have stopped him. " This entire part is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the power of the two. . And again, Voldemort was not at top condition. Voldemort was more powerful, just not then. He was also distracted. Voldemort was at the atrium to kill Harry, not Dumbledore. "The things which Voldemort knew not! (While Albus did)" Most of the stuff you mentioned are once more, irrelevant to the power struggle. How does knowing about the room of requirement make you more powerful? Seriously, will one room save Dumbledore in the middle of battle? We are comparing wizardry, not comparing them finding rooms. Does accepting death make you a better wizard? Can loving another person suddenly boost your skills? Wouldn't Voldemort be able to use the trail of magic against Dumbledore? I already admitted Dumbledore was the superior morally, but we are talking about power and abilities. Not morals. "Elder Wand. The wand chooses the wizard. For a wand to work properly for its owner, it either has to choose him/ her, or to be won, so that it allies itself with its owner. " For starters, check out my turn in round three argument #4. Also here is a quote from the Harry Potter wiki "It appears that the Elder Wand is still somewhat more powerful than other wands, even when the user has not mastered it, as seen when it was in the hands of Lord Voldemort. However, Voldemort was a very powerful wizard even without special artefacts to aid him. It is unknown to what extent his power was boosted by the wand, but it is certain that he never unlocked its full power, because he was never the Wand's true master. Voldemort himself sensed, and was immensely frustrated by, this fact. " Nuff said. "Powers, or Skills" You listed a few skills Dumbledore has, and I will list them on whether or not they are useful in a battle against Voldemort. -Transfiguration (Voldemort can also do this ) -Patronus (Useless unless Voldemort summons dementors) -Legilimency and Occulemency (Voldemort is just as good if not better at this) -Non-Cloak Invisibility (Fairly useless as the wand would still be visible and therefore Dumbledore could be found) -Alchemy (Again, useless in a fight) -Multilingual (Still useless) -Firestorm (Once more Voldemort is just as good if not better with this spell) THERE! !! Is it not clear? Voldemort's skills are just too good for the morals of Dumbledore. Either Voldemort can match the skills of Dumbledore or the skills of Dumbledore are useless.
