Why did Albus Dumbledore not tell Harry in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

Malfoy was never really a bad guy. He was raised in a family of Dark wizards, which rubbed off on him quite a bit. He never truly was evil though. Recall, he couldn't kill Dumbledore in Book 6. (Some say its because he was scared but others believe he never truly wanted to. It's probably a combination of both.) So when Bellatrix asked Malfoy to identify Harry, Malfoy didn't tell her the truth because he didn't really support Voldermort. Being *bad* was always expected of Malfoy because of his family history. Malfoy will never have good character, but he will never be evil either.

How did Harry Potter take away Lord Voldemort's powers when he was an infant?

Lord Voldemort gave Harry's mother, Lily, the choice to stand aside and live. She refused to do so and died protecting her child. This created a strong bond of magic that is not understood by many. Lily's love for her son created a powerful protection spell over him.

When Lord Voldemort - a person who had delved into the darkest of magic to extend his life - tried to kill an innocent, defenceless baby he was unable to. The spell rebounded and hit Lord Voldemort. However, as Voldemort already had several Horcruxes he didn't die, he was just ripped from his body.
