What’s interesting is the irony- he seems to think that Hermione can stop Harry making world domination choices. Harry. This is Voldemort here, and he genuinely believes that his nemesis, who is very much against death (even more so than him) is a greater threat to the world.
And his solution: make sure he has friends. I neither see how Voldermort sees Harry as a more credible threat than himself, nor why he thinks Hermione is a better option than simply killing Harry.
General prophecy shenanigans. There are now two different prophecies orbiting Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, one of which certainly seems to imply that he’s going to survive to destroy the world. Obvious, predictable solutions are likely to fail.

Partially, blindness due to not wanting to be bored again. Friendship is magic and alicorn princesses :p.
Partially, because he’s not sure that he can kill Harry.
Is there any legitimate reason why a gun wouldn’t work? I mean, I now strongly suspect it wasn’t loaded, but in theory it should do.
I admit the uncertainty as to how the horcrux system works could mean that killing Tom R. Jr is a bad idea.
This chapter made me suspect that Harry would be brought back by Voldie’s horcrux network.

Do we have a source for prophecies coming true reliably? Back in ch 108 Quirrell seemed to think it possible to avert a prophecy.
ch 108
Sadly, I don’t think that HPMOR is ever going to have a ch 208!
Fixed
Why? The gun that Voldemort was using to deter Harry was not the one shot at the end of the chapter; that gun came from his pouch.
