Why Voldemort is afraid of Dumbledore is because Dumbledore had been his teacher once. Back when Voldemort had been known as Tom Riddle and most thought of him as a great aset to the school maybe? What with being Prefect, Headboy, top of the class, and getting an award for special services to the school for "finding out" who was opening the Chamber of Sercrets. Voldemort (Tom) at the time thought that he had everyone under his control, even the Headmaster Dippet. Though there WAS one teacher who keep an "overly close watch" on him as Tom had put it in CoS. Dumbledore saw through his disguise and he also has an Order of Merlin, for killing off the Dark Lord, Grindelwald, and maybe Voldemort fears that Dumbledore will teach Harry the same things he used against that Dark Lord against himself! Then there is the fact that he IS the MOST powerful wizard of his time, he tends to know what people are thinking, tends to know what is going to happen next BEFORE it happens, and tends to be able to turn himself invisible!
Voldemort, no matter how much we deny it is human. He is allowed to have fears like all of us, to feel jealousy, regret, pain, denial. He has the right to feel those feelings and emotions just as much as we do, because he had once been innocent like us, he had once been kind and gentle, only to CHOOSE to turn evil and heartless. That is what makes Voldemort stronger and scarier then some Dark Lords in other stories, because this Dark Lord shows us that everyone has a little of Voldemort in them, everytime we feel hatred or jealousy that is the Voldemort in us. To be human, is to be scary. . . and realistic. . .
