Interesting. I keep nosing around (got that from Snuffles, I reckon)
notions of something like Harry (or Dumbledore, or Grindelwald or
*somebody*) turning out to *be* Voldemort somehow; the similarities
between Tom & Harry, the canon around time-turning and its attendant
warnings, the "different generations/characters but same/similar
experience with bullying/deprivation" echoes. You may have something
there.
Then again, maybe "Voldemort" wasn't just the only anagram Tom Riddle
could come up with; maybe whatever made DD "the only one he ever
feared" also inspired him (earlier) to choose a name with some of the
same cadence.
