>From reading GoF, Pettigrew tried to talk V into using any other
wizard but Harry because of the difficulty in getting to Harry to
obtain his blood for the regeneration spell. V agreed that that would
be easier , but I think he specifically preferred Harry for reasons
that were never really fleshed out in the text. The conclusion that I
came to was that perhaps the blood from whatever wizard he obtained
added to whatever powers V already had, and since Harry has been
successful thus far in blocking V's efforts ( whether via luck vs.
ability, I think its inconclusive at this point) he chose Harry on
the off chance that Harry truly has amazing powers. I think he wants
those powers as his own in the new body as V sees Harry as his only
real possible future enemy that could beat him.
As for what V's ultimate goal is, other than gaining a new body
and reclaiming his strength and ability prior to his discorporation,
I have no idea. I gathered that other than gaining control over the
wizarding world, that V resents having to hide from muggles as he
sees them as inferior and has deep psychological hang-ups regarding
his muggle father rejecting his wizard mother. In reading GoF ,
Dumbledore mentions reading the muggle news because he is looking for
any odd instances where muggles have had run-ins with the weakened V(
ex- the caretaker who was killed under mysterious circumstances, Mr
Weasley having to memory wipe the muggles who saw the trash cans
attacking Moody when captured by Crouch Jr.)V having grown up as TR
in muggle surroundings probably wants to take over both wizarding and
muggle worlds with wizards being the ruling race. I suppose that is
his ultimate way of recociling the total lack of control he had as a
child growing up in an orphanage, but thats just a guess. So why is
it so important to V to be doing what he is doing, in gaining
immortality? What will having immortality help him achieve? What kind
of crazy is that? Anyone else out there have any better explainations
or theories?
