One of the premises of the genius epic fanfic novel series Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is that the plot of the canon books (including Voldy's plans) either are explained in a way that makes strategic sense or are angulated a little into making sense.

That being said, even in the canon books Voldy took over magical Britain twice on the way to taking over the world, by terrorizing the political apparatus. Taking over the means of education was always a subordinate part of the political plan; his focus on Hogwarts otherwise wasn't on the school but on a few of the big guns (primarily Dumbledore) and whatever nebulous threat Potter represented (but clearly some kind of threat having wiped Voldy when only a baby somehow).

This is very subtle.  You'd need to altar your thinking.
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall
