I know that many of here can be confused with my question because as we all know, and was also well mentioned in the books, that Voldemort never valued love.  But I wonder if why he revenged and killed his father.     One of my possible theory of the impossibility for Tom Riddle to love his mother:   Voldemort's real intentions for murdering his father was not to give revenge for his mother, Merope, but intended it as a revenge just for himself and just to give way for his horcrux.   Is this theory correct? Or there's other reasons contributing to the fact that Voldemort never loved anyone?

We know that Voldemort does not love. He does not understand it, nor (generally) the magic that it possesses. He knows  of the sort.  [...] &quot;you possess in such quantities and which Voldemort has not at all.&quot; [...] &quot;because he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests. In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you.&quot; (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, page 1075)  The above confirms it (although I believe there is a better quote), though  reinforces it. The fact that he hugs so awkwardly shows that he does not really know how, due to his lack of love. I realize that Voldemort's appearance started to change after he started to create Horcruxes, but surely he had an ounce of love when he was a child? The hugging scene perhaps shows that he never once loved his whole life (possibly due to the love potion with his parents?). If so, when did Voldemort begin to have no love at all, and why?

led me to asking this one. R.A.B. takes the "real" locket out and asks Kreacher to destroy it, then puts the "fake" locket back in the basin. Why would he feel the need to do this? He knows already that Voldemort has used someone else to drink the potion (Kreacher). In fact Kreacher's story to him about his mistreatment on the island seems to push him over the edge to act.   Instead of assuring that someone else (most likely innocent like Kreacher) would have to drink from the basin, why not just leave the note outside the basin for someone to find? If Voldemort finds it then so be it, at least then no presumably innocent person would have to drink again.

I have seen many discussions here about locations where Voldemort hid his Horcruxes. The fans settle down with this: Voldemort chose those locations where he himself could easily reach.  Why didn't Voldemort just vanish his Horcruxes using Fidelius Charm and became Secret Keeper himself? This way only and only he could reach it (making him 100% immortal). And, there's no flaw to it.

I'm not sure how much documentation there is on time in the HP universe, but time would obviously be an incredibly strong weapon to Voldemort, so I'm wondering why he didn't just rewind time and fix any errors he made in order to conquer the world. Harry and friends used it responsibly, I thought because there would be some punishment from the Ministry of Magic if they messed up time too badly (so Harry didn't go after Pettigrew when they went back in time).

In the Harry Potter books, is there ever a point that is not from the perspective of Harry? There are a few times you are inside Voldemort's mind, but that is really just a an extension of Harry's mind.  Is there ever a point where you are in the perspective or the mind of someone other than Harry (as in hearing their thoughts)?

Sirius himself says at some point in Goblet of Fire that Crouch pushed through legislation to have him convicted and thrown in Azkaban without a trial.  There seems to be a general consensus, specifically voiced by Fudge but also implicit in Crouch pushing through this legislation, that Sirius was considered one of Voldemort’s innermost, most dangerous, and most trusted right hands. Easily as inner-circle as the Lestranges, for example.  It seems quite unlikely to me that someone so close to Voldemort should not be a Death Eater—apart from Fenrir Greyback (who I would think is much less inner-circle), I do not recall hearing of any of Voldemort’s important servants not being Death Eaters.  As far as canon describes, all Death Eaters have the Dark Mark magic-tattooed on their arm, to be used as a way for Voldemort to summon them to him. Considering that Karkaroff, who had definitely burnt all his Death Eater bridges, still had the Dark Mark, I am assuming that getting rid of the Mark is not possible: once it’s on, it stays on.  Yet, as Hermione points out in Order of the Phoenix (ch. 16, “In the Hog’s Head”), Sirius does not have the Dark Mark.  So why was he so swiftly convicted and locked up? I mean, I know they were eager to be seen to be doing something (as Fudge keeps pointing out is his excuse for most of the miscarriages of justice he commits)… but seriously, did no one think to check if Sirius actually had a Dark Mark on his arm or not? Did the Ministry of Magic not even know at the time that all Death Eaters had the Mark? Or were they just happy to accept—without the scrutiny of a full trial—that a non-Death Eater would commit mass murder for a Voldemort who was presumed defeated?

Why didn't Dumbledore show his memory of Barty Crouch Jr's confession to Cornelius Fudge to confirm his point that Voldemort returned? Wouldn't that just prevent all the mumbo-jumbo happening in the 5th book?

Is there any evidence that Severus Snape from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter was ever loved romantically by a woman? If so, please provide evidence that he was loved - canon evidence only, please.

In Harry Potter book 4 (Goblet of Fire) Harry's wand 'links' with Voldemort's during their duel, and Voldemort's wand begins 'spitting out' each spell it had cast, in reverse order.  This produces false 'ghosts' of people he had killed with .  In the US printing, James Potter appears, followed by Lily.  If the spell order was supposed to be reversed, why did Harry's father's "ghost" emerge before his mother's, since it's repeatedly stated (before and after) that he died first?

In  DVK says, that "Lily's protection magic was triggered by her choosing to die to protect Harry". Has she got or knew anything, that would let her believe, that her sacrifice will save Harry? Or was it -- like JKR says in an interview  -- something, that any normal mother would have done for her child (no magic or mystery involved)?

As the title says, when and what made Voldemort look the way he does (pale, snake-like etc) as opposed to how we've seen him in his earlier years as Tom Riddle? Is it just a side effect of his unnatural resurrection? Before he died attacking Harry as a baby did he look like a normal guy?

At the start of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorceror's Stone Voldemort's Killing Curse backfires      due to Lily's sacrifice protecting Harry from Voldemort.   leaving Harry with his scar      and a loose piece of Voldemort's soul   and Voldemort as a loose soul, self-described as "Less than a ghost".  Voldemort was not dead, but had no physical body (until he got better in book 4).  What happened to his body?  Did it disappear?  Or was it left in the rubble of the house, alongside the bodies of James and Lily?

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, chapter one The Dark Lord Ascending, Voldemort believes he must use a wand other than his own in order to kill Harry, when Harry is moved from Privet Drive. He demands Lucius Malfoy's wand, and gets it.   My question is, why did Voldemort take the wand of one of his most loyal servants, rendering Lucius Malfoy useless if a battle was to occur?  If I remember correctly, he had Ollivander at his disposal, and he was the one who told him to use another wand in first place. Why not ask Ollivander to create another wand, or just use ones that he had ready to sell in his shop at Diagon Alley? He could even have taken Ollivander's own wand. If my memories are correct, a wand's importance was compared to that of a limb.

In Order of the Phoenix, when Harry breaks into Umbridge's office to communicate with Sirius after his vision. Why didn't Harry instead use the mirrors that had been given to him by Sirius earlier in the book, specifically for the purpose of "If you ever need me". He thinks of it quickly enough after Sirius' death (I believe he sees a pair of blue eyes when he attempts to contact him). So why didn't he think of it before Sirius died, when he had need for an object which the mirrors fit perfectly?

In Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, everyone is using "Voldemort"'s name freely in present day as he is dead and there is no fear of his available death eaters either.   However when Albus and Scorpius try to humiliate Cedric Diggory in Second task of Tri-wizard tournament and while coming back to the present only Scorpius makes it to the present. Here it is complete Voldemort's rule. Voldemort is alive and so is his fear.   But still how come everyone easily takes or say the name of "Voldemort" without any fear? Like "Voldemort and Valour"? Has Voldemort allowed everyone to take his name?

made me think about the movie versions of the 7th book.  In Deathly Hallows Part II      Voldemort has Nagini attack Snape because Voldy thinks that Snape has the Elder Wand's allegiance. We know that Snape didn't actually have the allegiance, Draco did (and by then Harry did) and his plan had failed.   But if Voldy's plan had succeeded with Snape, would he have gotten allegiance?      Since voldemort didn't kill Snape, Nagini did...

As teenager Tom Riddle is speaking to Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets, both he and Harry are refering to the real Voldemort in the third person. If Tom Riddle had succeeded in sucking all the life energy out of Ginny and had come back alive, wouldn't that have meant there were two Voldemorts in the world? The wraith one which had lived in Quirrell, and the newly constituted one?  This Tom Riddle clearly doesn't have the memories of the wraith version.   As a bonus: If they both existed, would they have competed against each other?
