Not too big a step at all.  You have something relevant and direct 
that is in the text.

>>during the pensieve scene Dumbledore asks Tom if there is anything 
at ALL that he wanted to talk about.  This is very similar to the way 
that Dumbledore talks to Harry and we know for a fact that Dumbledore 
loves Harry.  I personally believe that he also loved Tom and still 
loves the boy behind the dark lord.<<

Tip replied:
I'm not sure that I agree with the conclusion, but the evidence is 
certainly there.  It is a similar line to the one DD generally gives 
Harry.  Perhaps DD cares about all of the students in a general, 
agape sort of love.

>>Perhaps this is why Lord Voldemort fears Dumbledore the most, it is 
not a strength or skill mechanism.  But in Tom's mind the one person 
that he has ever become the closest to loving was Albus Dumbledore.<<

Tip replied:
Very interesting theory and not without evidence.  I guess we will 
find out in time.
