Voldemorte is character in fantasy fiction.  Voldemorte did not 
saction the destruction of Jewish Europe.  To say it is the same is 
to say "Holocaust never happened" or "Aushwitz was a spa."  That is 
cruel.

I do believe, however, that the maker of this sticker is not merely 
being clever.  You might just as well have a bumpersticker, "Percy 
flip flops too-- vote Kerry" or "They said Pettigrew was a hero too-- 
vote Kerry".  Do these not raise sronger feelings in you, the HP fan, 
than you would otherwise

flipped-flopped."  Seriously, you should put that on a bumpersticker 
or t-shirt.  I like "Dumbledore votes Green" (not particularly funny, 
but...) as well as "Quiditch moms for Democrats."

"Quiditch moms for Democrats" Now that is funny!! I would gladly slap 
one of those on my car.  Something about supporting Voldemort in any 
fashion is just to scary for me!  :D
