But even after Narcissa died, I don’t think Voldemort was facing a Total War against a united Magical Britain. It was the Death Eaters vs. the Order of the Phoenix, and what evidence we has indicates that the Order was losing, even when led by a more ruthless Dumbledore.
That’s what’s so puzzling here. This version of Voldemort isn’t stupid, but it still looks like he screwed up.

It’s possible he was simply too intelligent—trying to lose without appearing to try to lose, but still too brilliant to be defeated.
