Best Answer

Voldemort also alluded to this before Dumbledore as he always said that it must be him to kill Potter. Dumbledore would have realised the fact that the sacrifice that Lily Potter made for Harry resided in his blood and when Voldemort used Harry's blood to regain his body, he also came under that same protection so they were both living effectively as one person as the prophecy stated "none can live whilst the other survives". Therefore the blood protection had to be broken and for this to happen, one had to die without resistance for that to effectively happen. Dumbledore may have also suspected that Harry was a Horcrux as well since both Voldemort and Harry were Parclemouths and of the link Harry's scar gave in the Order of the Phoenix. If Voldemort also killed the Horcrux residing in Harry as well, then it would be sweet justice in helping bring him down.

What is the Harry Potter movie in which the lady takes over Hogwarts?

That's the 5th Harry Potter book/movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.The lady is Dolores Umbridge, a cruel and sadistic employee of the Ministry of Magic (the magical government), who is granted far too much power at Hogwarts, due to the Minister of Magic's mistrust of Headmaster Dumbledore. The Minister's mistrust of Dumbledore is due to his refusal to believe Dumbledore and Harry's claim that Voldemort is back (and also due to his underlying fear that Dumbledore wants to take his job as Minister of Magic).
