Why the metamorphoses? (was Voldemort Will Win)

Maus came up with a very interesting theory, and it seems to me highly plausible. As I was reading it, he mentioned the Big Character Flaw about Voldemort that's been drilled constantly into our heads: That he cannot feel love. If this is true... then why does he care? I mean, why did he become the Dark Lord? I thought it was in defiance of his muggle father; to pay him back for leaving his mother, a witch and descendant of Salazar Slytherin. Did he at one time love, feel pain, and that's what started him on this path? And through time, human emotion ceased to exist within him? If he never really felt love or pain, then why does he care about his father leaving his mother, or the fact that his mother died...? Is it simply because he then had to grow up in an orphanage, and was treated rather badly there? I am curious to know more about Voldemort now. I wasn't really so curious before... but now I'd like to know who his family was. I mean, it seems likely that his mother was a
 pureblood witch. As we've heard, all the pureblood families are interrelated, so even though Tom Riddle is a half blood (seemingly unbeknownst to his followers), the Slytherin family before him was surely pretty close to pure-blooded (though of course there may have been the occasional rebel, besides his mother). So I'm just curious why Tom Riddle chose this path of darkness to follow, if he was unfeeling to begin with...
