Slytherin descendants and logic puzzles

Good points, but V. hated his father for abandoning his mother when
he 
found out she was a witch. I think V.'s anger stems more from his 
father's abandonment than from his father's muggle-ness. If so 
wouldn't he try to be a better father than his own? By abandoning a 
child, he would be doing the same thing that his own father did. 
Considering V.'s sheer hatred for Muggles and Muggle-borns, I doubt 
that he would father a child of a Muggle lady.

On the other hand, V could be one of those people who continue the 
cycle of dysfunction within a family....

of Vodie-research. But Voldemort isn't an idiot either...how do we 
know he hasn't destroyed all legal records of himself? It would make 
it harder for people other than his supporters to find out that he
was 
Tom Riddle and get information on him, and would also be a
convienient 
way to kill two birds with one stone if, say, he had a child who he 
wasn't proud of (i.e. someone who didn't follow his ideals - sort of 
embarrassing if you want to take over the world and can't keep hold
of 
your own child).

Some of the clues are size/shape based, and since we don't have a 
bottle-by-bottle description...
