Voldemort's resurrection spell calls for the blood of an enemy, and everyone is assuming that means Harry Potter. But Voldemort and Harry aren't enemies! He should try to take Dumbledore's blood, not Harry's.

I admit, I've been wondering whether Harry is actually the servant, not the enemy

I'd go ahead and make him both, just in case.

Are you sure? What if in MOR, Harry's scar is from where Voldemort already took his blood? ;-)

This has already been brought up in this discussion thread, but remember that Dumbledore, at least, has no reason to suspect that Voldemort and Harry have any relationship other than prophesied adversaries.
