Yes, just as Hitler didn't represent what he stood for.  And JKR confirmed that 
in an interview (I think it was the Canadian one, I have it at home).  That 
Voldemort was a sort of wizard Hitler.  He kills innocent people, advocates a 
certain type of person, yet promotes something that he does not represent.  I 
think JKR has set up a lot of her wizard world to correspond to things in the 
Muggle world.  Like the chamber being opened by Riddle in 1941/42.  Pearl 
Harbor was in 1941.  Fear in the muggle world/fear in the wizard world.  
Grindewald (whoever he was) was defeated in 1945, coincides with the end of WW2 
and so on.
