In addition to musing about Tom Riddle's (Voldemort's) birth and 
early childhood, I've been wondering too if it were possible that he 
was spurned by a girl while he was a student at Hogwarts.  Maybe that 
was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.  I mean, what 
could have induced him to finally run (walk? crawl?) all the way to 
his father and grandparents' house in Little Hangleton at the 
particular time that he did?  Sure, if he'd known about them, he'd 
probably hated them all along, but why go kill them when he was 16 or 
17 and apparently still in school?  By that age, of course, he was 
old enough to really succeed at AKing someone, so maybe that was all 
the inducement needed, but was he also so sociopathic by the time he 
was, say, 5 or 6 years old, that he never even entertained any 
interest in girls, even when he became a teenager?  In a way, it 
would explain (to me, anyway) the unexplained reason for his initial 
reluctance to kill Lily Potter at Godric's Hollow.  Maybe she 
reminded him of his first "love." (Of course, maybe I'm still under 
the influence of seeing the recent medium-that-must-not-be-named 
version of Nicholas Nickleby on video -- any other Dickens fans see a 
slight resemblance between the personalities of Ralph Nickleby and 
Voldemort?  Heartless old Ralph clearly cared for no one, but he did 
have just a trace of affection for his niece Kate.  Oh well, I last 
read the novel many years ago, so I don't know for sure if the film 
version took liberties in interpreting the characters...)   

Also, there's the frightening, not to mention nauseating, thought 
that Voldemort may have had a love-child (hate-child?) that he's 
unaware of, sometime over the years, despite the general belief that 
he's the last heir of Slytherin.  After all, even evil old Salazar 
must have found time for "romance" or he wouldn't have *had* any 
heirs.  Any thoughts, anyone, on any of the above?
