  I know Tom was an orphan so obviously he had no family to love, but he
  could still have loved other people <snip>. But Tom never loved anyone. 
  I find that hard to imagine, especially since JKR said some time ago 
  that in her books nobody was ever born evil. So Tom was born normal, 
  but he never cared for anyone ? Weird. <<


There is a difference between "caring" for someone and truly loving them. 
To truly love, you have to want to sacrifice of your self for that person. Their happiness is more important than your own happiness. I think Voldemort only "loves" himself. How else could he kill, or have others kill, so easily. 
I think that is the power that Harry has that Voldemort doesn't grasp.
