Well I think it is often the case that the biggest bullies take what 
they know to be their own defects, as they see it, and they put 
them right on someone else and then they try and destroy the 
other and that's what Voldemort does. 

And that was very conscious - I wanted to create a villain, where 
you could understand the workings of that person's mind. 

And Harry, as you know, from book four, is starting to come to 
terms with what makes a person turn that way. Because they 
took wrong choices, and Voldemort took wrong choices from a 
very early age - he decided young what he wanted to be.

I think what we will find is that Voldemort may not have much 
choice about having a personality disorder, but he did have a 
choice as to how he dealt with the rage--he could have decided 
to consider it a weakness, as Snape apparently does. Instead 
Voldemort decided to become the most powerful wizard, so that 
he could vent his rage unchecked.
