Your absolutely right.  Hatred is usually in one way or the other an externalization of sel-loathing.  Just as meglomania is most often a compensation for it.  A great real-life tragic example of that is Adolf Hitler.  There were rumors going around Nazi circles early that Hitler's REAL father was Jewish (His mother worked for the man as his maid).  It appears Hitler believed it too although it actually wasn't true.  His hatred of Jews and subesguent genocide against them was all about wiping out that which he hated in himself. His meglomania was an act of self-denial of his feelings of inadequacy.  It is almost comic if it wasn't for the fact that millions of people died and the world plungged into a terrible world war all because of this man's personal angst! Voldemort's cruelty and hates have a very close parallel here.  Huggs Becky
