Good idea, but I don't think it could be Voldemort because he speaks 
with an unusually high pitched voice - certainly not a deep baritone.

I could see Professor Trelawney "going bad" though.  She seems to 
take an inordinate amount of pleasure in predicting death and 
mutilation for her students.  In fact, I'd go as far as to say that 
she is positively sadistic about it.
