I don't think that Voldemort's comments about his mum are 
there to make us feel sorry for him.  This is just history 
into the man and why he became what he did. Just as we discuss 
Snape and Draco's childhoods, this is a brief glimpse into 
Voldemort's. It also helps us to see some of the origins of his 
Muggle-hating ideals. There has to be more to Voldemort's story. 
Every book gives a little more on the backgrounds of others. I 
think book six will open our eyes more to the powers and reasonings 
of the Dark Lord.  I, as a lot of people, have always thought that 
he mirrored Hitler in many ways. I hope this isn't true. I hope he 
is original.

As for Draco, as soon as he comes of age, I think he will be a lot 
more interesting. ( Get your minds out of the gutters ;) ) I think 
that he is holding back because he is still under the influence of 
his parents and the watchful eye of the staff. Bring it on Draco! I 
want to see Draco lose his mind and inflict his insanity on everyone. ;)
