What exactly do you supposed Voldemort IS? We know he started out
human. He's even half-Muggle. But now when we see him, he doesn't even
LOOK human. He's got a face like a snake. Does part of the Immortality
Quest include being uglified? Did he have some kind of body-meld with a
basilisk? I don't understand what it is that he did that would result in
the alteration of his features like that. Did he look that way BEFORE,
when he was powerful the first time? It sure would make it difficult to
sneak up on an opponent at a cocktail party or something.
