<1. What is Voldemort's primary motivation? To live forever? To rid
the world of the non-pureblood (I know, he doesn't qualify
himself--racism knows no logic)? Sheer lust for power?>
I subscribe to the notion that he has other motives all together for his
plot to Rule The World...
<2. Can he be killed? Hagrid surmises that by the time he killed the
Potters, he was no longer human enough to die (PS/SS 4); Dumbledore
says "not being truly alive, he cannot be killed" (PS/SS 17);
Voldemort himself surmises that his experiments in immortality were
successful enough for him to survive a deflected AK, albeit barely.
However, Voldemort also describes his new (post-1995) life as a mortal
one, not yet the immortality he's seeking (GF 33).>
It's one of those typical horror movie things - the killer cannot be killed
until the very end, when you chop him into fish sticks, decapitated him and
hydroliclly freeze his head (however you do that; sounds impressive) or rip
his beating heart out of his chest. He has immortal tendencies, but I think
it'll take good old fashioned medevil tourture techniqes to knock off that
bad boy.
<3. How will having been restored by Harry's blood affect him?>
"...blood of the enemy, forceably taken.." I think it is like the whole
Count Dracula (the *real* one, not the vampire) thing. He thought that by
drinking his enemies' blood he could get their strengths and powers. I'm
almost sure that his haveing some of Harry's blood in his veins will mean
Harry has to do some impossible task later to kill him.
<4. Does he have an heir, and does he want one? (I hate to ask this,
but it seems obligatory:) Is he going to prove to be related to anyone
we know?>
*snort* want an heir? Why the bloody hell would he * want * an heir when his
goal is to be immortal? Of course, the fanfic world automaticly dubs Draco
Malfoy ('finger puppet of evil', to quote Cass) as Voldemort's heir, but
that's just a silly notion, IMO. Related to someone we know? I doubt it.
Star Wars, anyone?
<5. Is he your typical Evil Overlord who repeatedly makes unbelievably
dumb mistakes, or are we underestimating him?>
I cannot believe that JK would fall subject to this Big, Icky Pit. Why does
the bad guy need to be a bumbling idiot? I don't think that from what we
have seen of him he is. Think the Chamber part, and the GoF scenes...he
seems quite pulled together and Machiavellian.
