I still consider it unlikely that Voldemort is keeping Harry alive just to get the Stone.

I thought the canon was that the mirror would only give the stone to someone who didn't want to use it. Doesn't Harry want to use it more and more often than anyone else?

Voldemort knows that it requires a desire, but he doesn't know what the required desire is.
