bboy_mn:
In the world of JKR, things are not aways what they seem. Perhaps we
are being shown Voldemort as painfully inhuman as a setup for a time
when Voldemort is defeated by a sudden unforseen pang of humanity;
sort of, it's always darkest, just before the dawn.

We must remember 'the gleam'; we must remember the blood. In Voldemort
cruel inhuman reptilian blood now flows the blood of our noble knight.
Perhaps Voldemort's inhumanity has been corrupted or contaminated by
some small essence good, and that good will cause him to falter, to
hesitate at a crital moment, and that will lead to his downfall.

Just a thought.
