Yes, during his visit to ask Dumbledore if he could return to teach!
"The old argument," he said softly. "But nothing I have seen in the world has supported your famous pronouncements that love is more powerful than my kind of magic, Dumbledore."
"Perhaps you have been looking in the wrong places," suggested Dumbledore.
"Well, then, what better place to start my fresh researches than here, at Hogwarts?" said Voldemort. "Will you let me return? Will you let me share my knowledge with your students? I place myself and my talents at your disposal. I am yours to command."
"Dumbledore raised his eyebrows. "And what will become of those whom you command? What will happen to those who call themselves - or so rumor has it - the Death Eaters?"
Voldie's just trying to tempt Dumbledore with power... probably... but there's just enough room for feral fic-writers to read it as tempting in other ways. XD Tom: oh, so you think I haven't seen love's power because I've been looking in the wrong places? How about I stay here then? You can even direct my research. Show me, you coward!
