He doesn't make eye contact; he speaks in monotone...it's too much of an anvil.  And it makes Dumbledore look positively stupid that he allowed this blatantly disturbed boy into Hogwarts.  And you'd never believe that Clearly Crazy Tom could charm Slughorn, or Hepzibah Smith, or the fledgling Death Eaters, either.
