Is it possible that he never received any love from anyone ?

That would explain why Harry has a power that LV doesn't know : not 
because Harry has exceptionally a lot of love, but simply because LV 
never received any.

Am I completely crazy, or is it worth exposing my ideas supporting 
this theory, and my suppositions about the future of the War ?

My (Mela) reply:

 

Nope I think you are right there.  The truth of it is the one major thing that seperates Harry from Voldemort is love.  I disagree that Tom did not experience love though.  I personally believe that Dumbledore did care and love Tom, but Tom rejected it.  

Why?  Well, Tom had been rejected by everyone in his life.  The boy had no stability.  Allowing himself to feel love was opening himself up to letting someone else let him down or worst loosing them.  

That scares me about Harry too.  After loosing Sirius I think he is going to withdraw very much and try to stop loving for his and others safety.  This is probably the scariest prospect in the coming books to me.

In regards to what effect Tom Riddle and love will have on the war.  I think that ultimately Voldie will learn to love which is what will be his eventual defeat.
