Voldemort is always melodramatic. That's because theatrics and 
self-glorification are his top priorities, higher even than power, 
and much much higher than making sensible plans to achieve useful 
goals.

But I imagine that evil which is not melodramatic is even more 
dangerous. People who make computerized financial forecasts from 
highly mathematical models, and see a loss if they discard the 
defective airplane parts and a profit if they hide the defects under 
varnish or something and sell them to people who don't know they're 
defective, and if it ever troubles their conscience that people will 
die when airplanes fall out of the sky because of those defective 
parts, they don't let that conscience affect their behaviour.
