Kirsten:

I definitely agree.  I think all of these evil people,
when it comes down to it, hate themselves for one
reason or another.  They try to associate it with some
part of them and then turn that hatred on others who
share those traits. Voldie wishes he had been born a
'pure blood,' Hitler wished that he was Aryan, etc. 
It's definitely a fascinating concept.
