Hello. I'm new. I just got done sifting through the
past several posts. And I have acquainted myself with
the files, so as far as I know, I understand
everything. I'll just jump right in and offer my
opinions on Voldemort -

I believe that Lord Voldemort's motivation is to
avenge his mother. I'm aware it's an unusual theory,
but it seems in cannon that it's a real sore spot for
him; people's hang-ups tend to fuel their obsessions.
> 2. Can he be killed?
Having Harry's blood should have something to do with
it, I would imagine. Avada Kedavra obviously has no
effect on him, and it's the strongest spell, so that
leads one to think that a muggle way is needed. Either
that or a potion of some sort, but that's a bit
anti-climactic, don't you think?
> 3. How will having been restored by Harry's blood
affect him?
Well, Dumbledore's over anylized "triumphant look" is
a big pointer to *something*. I cannot imagine that it
makes him any weaker; what kind of evil lord could
overlook something that big?
> 4. Does he have an heir, and does he want one?
It's a real possibility. I would think that one of
the many young Slytherins would qualify. Draco is the
most popular candidate.
> 5. Is he your typical Evil Overlord who repeatedly
makes
unbelievably
> dumb mistakes, or are we underestimating him?
Well, I hardly think he has made any dumb mistakes
yet, so you would be underestimating him to think he
would. There is the bit about giving Harry his wand
back, but how was he to know the wand had the other
feather in it?
