I would like to know how and why Tom became Voldermort. Why take the 
anger out on all muggles? And how did he find out about his mother 
and her family?
Dumbledore talks about the transformations he undertook that made him 
unreconizable. Would this be how to defeat him? Something that about 
this that made the killing of Harry rebound on himself. Did somehow 
Lilly know, everyone is going on about the big revelation about her.
