That's a really good explanation for how Dumbledore's recollection of the purposeless evil of Voldemort can be reconciled with the clearly purposeful evil of Quirrell.
And why Voldie'd lay low for TEN YEARS waiting for a hero.
(Still... see Chris Halquist below. '73 to '81? He must've had some plan going.)
Yeah. He did. And yeah, that's odd. There's probably something else going on there that we don't know about.
He's patient?
I believe he intends to upload into Harry after arranging for Harry to "kill" Voldemort and take power. He showed up just in time for Harry's first year at Hogwarts - first year in public. Then creates the whole army business which propels Harry to leadership.
Also, even though he "was winning" the war, finishing off Dumbledore, holder of the Elder Wand, is non trivial. Much better to become Harry and have Dumbledore pass on his power to you.
