There were many reasons why Dumbledore did not kill Voldemort directly. ###The reason Dumbledore did not kill Voldemort - ** Horcrux concerns **: Dumbledore knew that Voldemort made Horcruxes to divide souls in order to achieve immortality. He realized that killing Voldemort directly would not completely destroy him, because Voldemort could be resurrected through other Horcruxes. - ** The Power of Love **: Dumbledore was deeply in love with Lily Potter, and he knew that Voldemort could not kill Harry because he had Lily's protective charm. This love was a powerful magic, enough to resist Voldemort's curse. - ** Strategic considerations **: Dumbledore believed that keeping Voldemort alive would expose the crimes of the Death Eaters, show the Wizarding world Voldemort's true colors, and shake the faith of his supporters. - [Morality and principles: Dumbledore has been an advocate of love and justice all his life. He is not willing to solve problems by killing.] He believed that through education and love, one could change the hearts of people, not through violence. ###Dumbledore's Wisdom and Strategy Dumbledore's wisdom was not only reflected in his magical abilities, but also in his strategic and moral choices. Through a series of strategies, including hiding the truth, protecting Harry, and guiding Harry to find the Horcrux, he laid the foundation for defeating Voldemort. Dumbledore's decision not to kill Voldemort not only reflected his wisdom and courage, but also his deep understanding of love and justice. His choice not only changed the fate of Harry and Voldemort, but also profoundly affected the direction of the entire magical world. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is not enough.

In the Harry Potter series, Dumbledore and Voldemort were two key characters, and they were closely related to Harry Potter. Dumbledore was the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was a very intelligent, powerful, and righteous wizard. He played the role of a mentor and guide in the growth of Harry Potter. Dumbledore knew that Harry's fate was closely linked to Voldemort. He gave Harry help, advice, and magical knowledge at many critical moments, guiding Harry on the path to fight against Voldemort. For example, he told Harry many important things about the Deathly Hallows and encouraged Harry to develop his courage, wisdom, and friendship so that he could take on the burden of fighting Voldemort. Voldemort was the villain of the entire series. He was a powerful Dark Sorcerer who pursued power, immortality, and absolute rule over the Sorcerer World. Voldemort had hunted Harry down when he was still a baby because of a prophecy that he would be his nemesis. He killed Harry's parents, but when he tried to kill Harry, his Killing Curse was reflected by Harry's mother's Sacrifice Magic, leaving a lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead and miraculously surviving. Voldemort's reign of terror and evil behavior plunged the wizarding world into darkness and fear. He constantly created various plots and killings in an attempt to break the peace of the wizarding world. As Harry Potter grew up, he gradually realized that he had to fight against Voldemort to protect his friends, family, and the entire wizarding world.

Killing Voldemort required destroying his seven Horcruxes and defeating him. His seven Horcruxes were Tom's Diary from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, destroyed by Harry with the fangs of a Basilisk; Marvolo Gaunt's Ring from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, destroyed by Dumbledore; Salazar Slytherin's locket from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, destroyed by Ron Weasley; Helga Hufflepuff's cup from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, destroyed by Hermione Granger and Ron with the teeth of a dead Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets; Rowena Ravenclaw's crown from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, destroyed by intense fire; Harry Potter himself, killed by Voldemort in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2; Najya the serpent from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, killed by Neville with the sword of Gryffindor.

Some fanfictions might explore a more nuanced past relationship between them. Maybe they had interactions in their younger days that shaped their future enmity. Dumbledore, with his deep understanding of magic and people, could have recognized the darkness growing in Voldemort early on and tried to guide him away from it, but Voldemort's pride and thirst for power made him reject any such guidance.
The relationship between them in fanfiction also affects their portrayals. If the fanfiction focuses on a timeline where Dumbledore and Voldemort were once friends or colleagues, their characters will be different from a story where they were always bitter enemies. Dumbledore might show more regret or a sense of failure if he couldn't prevent Voldemort from turning evil in such a scenario, and Voldemort might have a different level of respect or hatred for Dumbledore depending on their past interactions.
Snape had killed Dumbledore at Dumbledore's request. This action had a complicated background. In the plot of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Draco Malfoy was given the almost impossible task of killing Albus Dumbledore and paving the way for the Death Eaters to enter Hogwarts by Voldemort. Snape had promised to protect Draco, and he and the people involved had sworn an unbreakable oath to ensure this promise. Failure to fulfill the promise would result in the death of either party. Dumbledore himself might have asked Snape to do this for various reasons, such as the overall plan to fight against Voldemort. In order to fulfill his promise and cooperate with Dumbledore's plan, Snape finally killed Dumbledore, which made Snape bear a lifetime of infamy.

In order to protect Lily, Snape volunteered to be Albus Dumbledore's spy on Voldemort's side, which indicated that Snape did plead with Voldemort to protect Lily. Snape loved Lily deeply, and Lily's death made him regret it very much. He had been in pain for not being able to protect Lily all his life, and this pain had prompted him to choose to protect Harry later. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was not enough.

In fanfiction, Dumbledore could have set up a series of trials or quests for Harry before the final battle. These experiences make Harry stronger both magically and mentally. Dumbledore might also have a secret plan that he has been preparing for years. He could be using his own powerful magic in a covert way to weaken Voldemort over time, like gradually breaking down the protection spells around Voldemort's Horcruxes so that Harry can find and destroy them more easily.
Often in fanfiction, Dumbledore helps Harry understand the nature of Voldemort's soul - splitting into Horcruxes. He may guide Harry in the search for these Horcruxes. Dumbledore could also use his own powerful magic to shield Harry from Voldemort's attacks, at least until Harry is fully prepared for the final confrontation.
Perhaps Dumbledore is being forced in this fanfiction. There could be some dark magic or powerful dark wizard threatening Hogwarts or the wizarding world. Dumbledore, in a desperate attempt to save everyone else, gives Harry to Voldemort as a sacrifice. But Harry, being the hero he is, could find a way to turn the situation around and defeat Voldemort from within his lair.
It could be Dumbledore from beyond the grave. He might find a way to reach out and summon Harry, believing that only Harry has the potential to truly defeat Voldemort in this new, dire situation.
