I think that he is referring to the "fool" part of the sentence.
He then goes on to say that in death, they both had their uses, 
which I think is a disgusting thing to say, but that's Voldemort for 
you.
I think that the parallel between Tom Riddle Sr and Lily Potter just 
adds more pain for Harry, because of her being compared to something 
so closely related to Voldemort.
It is definitely a very strange comparison, between a muggle and a 
witch - referred to as a muggle :S
Could it be a mistake?  Any thoughts?
