That's the analogy that occurs to me, too.  Voldemort's career is
notable for some of the blunders he committed, Hitlerian ones born of
megalomania.  I really wonder that followers like Lucius don't start
chafing at following a guy who leads them from disaster to disaster,
particularly if I'm right in believing Lucius, prejudiced though he
is, never forgets Number One.

Voldemort is psychosis driven, IMO, a true sociopath, which is another
point of commonality to Hitler.
