QUESTION: Has Voldemort or Tom Riddle ever cared for or loved anyone?

JKR: Now, that's a cracking question to end with—very good. No, 
never. [Laughter.] If he had, he couldn't possibly be what he is. 

********************************************************

VOLDEMORT (with vocal back-up from CHORUS OF DEATH EATERS): 
Jo said love, love
Would make me kind
I won't be wined, dined by nothin' benign 
I've always said

I won't curry love
No, I'd much rather hate
Like that dwarf who went crazy
So he could the Rhinegold take

I won't curry love
No, I'd much rather hate
I've got to curse ev'ry time
To hurt, control, annihilate

But how many headaches
Did I bear before I found a way
To let me live again
I was an ugly thing
But I kept hangin' `round
Till I felt my strength, yeah
On the rebound 
And so ever since I've said:

I won't curry love
It's a miserable fake
For the dove is too spotless
I'll take wisdom from the snake

How much must I hate
How much more can they take
Before wickedness will cause their skulls
Skulls to break?

No I can't stand to young Potter possess
He's got that ancient form of love that I detest
He made me feel that I, I can't hold him
But vicious words help renew my vim
And so ever since I've said:

I won't curry love
No, I'd much rather hate
For hate is the feeling
Jo misunderestimates.

I won't curry love
No, I'd much rather hate
My disgust and my crime
Halts their metabolic rate

No, love, love, I do not see
For I keep rejecting
And disrespecting with my cold voice
All through the day and night
With offensive arms
And hellish might
I keep hating
I keep negating
They can't appease me
Can't appease me
I've always said

I won't curry love
No, I'd much rather hate
I say it's just muck and slime
Though it can be used as bait

I won't curry love
No, I'd much rather hate
.

NOTE: The second stanza refers to Alberich, the dwarf in Wagner's Das 
Rheingold (the first of The Ring of the Nibelung tetralogy), whose 
renunciation of love enables him to steal the Rhinegold and harness 
its immeasurable power.
