The Sergeant Majorette says

If he was a regular famous person in real life, of course we would; 
it would be big news if he was lying or wrong. Adolf Hitler, 
Madeleine Albright, Jack Nicholson, etc... In the case of Adolf 
Hitler, people are still arguing about whether or not he was part 
Jewish. In the latter two cases, the news about the mysteries in 
their parentage was gossip for a while, but since neither of them are 
mass murderers, nobody cares anymore.

However, when you claim to be the most powerful Dark Wizard in the 
world and that you're justified in killing hundreds of innocent 
people and I paid 25 bucks for your latest adventure, I want to see 
some serious motivation. I was way pi--, I mean annoyed -- when the 
name that strikes terror into the hearts of wizards everywhere turned 
out to be an anagram (could that be more pre-teen?) and now he wants 
us to feel somthing because his mother was cruelly abandoned? See the 
chaplain, Private. Sounds like a personal problem to me.

Now that Draco turns out to be an oxygen thief and a total waste of 
other natural resources and Harry isn't cute anymore, I see troubled 
times ahead for the franchise if Voldemort doesn't step up to the 
plate and get more interesting.
