The "flash of triumph" in his eyes as Harry is telling him that Voldemort used his blood to be reborn
I hadn't remembered this; I've begun to reread the whole series, but I've only just started with CoS. I think I'd better stop theorising until I've finished...
But Dumbledore must have realised he wouldn't have had complete control over events, especially once he was dead, so what you're saying makes sense, getting as many people as possible ready to do their best and hope that in some combination they'd succeed.
