This quote brought to mind the scene in the MoM (Ministry of Magic)

The door, that Dumbledor said is so full of "something" that 
Voldemort has nothing of, despises in fact.

Would Mercy be a facet of whatever is behind that door? If so, than 
the act of Mercy itself could be killing to Voldemort. Kindness, 
rather than fear, love rather than hate, might actually 
destroy "Voldemort" and leave, perhaps, a very confused Tom Riddle, 
or who knows what else.

Is mercy perhaps what is at the MoM? I think that might be a big part 
of it. Voldemort shows very little, to no mercy to even his 
followers, and certainly no kindness or love.

Call me a sap, but I think that has something to do with it, in the 
small bit at least. 

And, doesn't Snape and Harry have that sort of wizard bond now? Snape 
tried to save Harry in SS/PS, so does that mean Harry owe's something 
to Snape? (I don't know if the broomstick scene was a failed attempt 
at saving Harry or a successful one, but it is important, nonetheless)
