This is one of my favorite things about the HP books, too. Voldy is
the scariest villian since Darth Vader, IMHO. When I read the first
chapter of GoF and realized that he had killed his own father and
grandparents, it sent chills up my spine. I too, was mentally
screaming NOOOOOooooo DONT GO IN THERE to Bryce. Voldy is a
genuinely, psychologically, believably evil bad guy.
OT, but......The lack of a believable villain was one of things
(along with the stupid CGI characters and effects) that ruined The
Phantom Menace for me. Palpatine was a believable villian, but Darth
Maul was a ridiculous leering idiot who was not in the least scary.
Sorry to go OT, but my Star Wars obsession is second only to my HP
obsession.
I think that in future HP books, Voldy is going to be a very, very
bad boy.
