Me:
I have been very interested in this theory of Voldemort being a 
puppet for quite some time, although I don't see there being much 
chance that Fudge is the puppet master.  I have always thought that 
if Voldemort did answer to someone, it would turn out to be 
Dumbledore.  After all, Dumbeldore is the only wizard that Voldemort 
has ever "feared." Yeah, he's afraid Dumbledore will kick his butt 
if he screws up the plan for immortality and world domiantion. And 
the fact that Voldemort has a feather from Dumbledore's phoenix in 
his wand, I know there are a million ways to speculate on how this 
happened, but it seems afully suspicious to me.  The one who is 
always able to anticipate and know everything, may not be entirely 
trustworthy.  I for one would love to see an ever-so-evil 
Dumbledore.  I know that the gleam of triumph in his eyes has been 
interpreted to death, but it's there and can't be overlooked.  It 
would be especially thrilling to see what Harry would do, since 
Dumbledore has spent the entirety of the four books building up 
Harry's trust in him.  It has worked so far.
