the quality or state of being extremely egocentric; 3)Egocentric-
self-centered, selfish, limited in outlook or concern to one's own
activities and needs.  Nowhere in these definitions is lack of
emotional control mentioned as a prerequesite for egomania.  IMO, as I
look back on definition number 3, I feel that Voldemort fits it to the
letter.<<<


Me:
Well if you want to use that definition...  ;)

I agree.  I just thought ego-maniacs also included the need to have
temper-tantrums and throw things.  Voldemort is most certainly only
concerned with his own needs.  The only time other's needs come into
focus is when they are greatly needed on his behalf.  I think that is
why he humors Pettigrew and gives him the silver hand.  If Voldemort
did not think that Pettigrew's new silver hand would come in handy in
his quest, then he would not of given it to Pettigrew.  It is not like
Voldie made it for Peter out of gratitude form resurrecting him.

Now is there one other Potterland character that is a bit of a buding
ego-maniac?   Hmmm, could Percy fit that definition as well?  Maybe
that is why we wonder whether Percy has evil tendencies.  He does seem
quite infatuated with his own little world.
