Lord *giggle* Voldemort & Florence

[Elizabeth C]

No: HPFGUIDX 19524

Since reading CoS and discovering that 'Lord Voldemort' is really Tom 
Marvolo Riddle, has anyone else had a quiet snigger to themselves every time 
from then on they read the word 'Voldemort'?
It's such a combination of things - like his real name being so boring and 
so stupid at the same time, starting calling himself *Lord* anything at age 
17, changing his name at all (although, now that I think about it...'Lord 
Riddle' just doesn't sound as impressive does it?) - that I just can't take 
him seriously anymore.
I take him being a threat to Harry seriously, and I take the DE's *very* 
seriously, but I just can't take him as a person seriously. When I read the 
words 'Lord Voldemort' I now just think to myself 'yeah, right Tommy. You 
are, like, sooo pathetic' and smirk.

Also, who the hell is Florence? I've been reading the thread trying to 
figure it out, but I have no idea. Is she in canon? If so, could someone 
point me to the book & chapter? I'm lost here!
