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.
