If Voldemort had made an Unbreakable Vow, wouldn't he blame that

Not nessicarly.  Perhaps he would have not wanted to mention that he broke the oath, or that he'd made it with Snape, who most of them would have considered a traitor.

  Now Cindy:

  Excellent posts, it really made sense to me at first...and then I 
  remembered chatter after the rebirthing scene in GOF:

  pg 653 AE

  "I miscalculated, my friends, I admit it.  My curse was deflected by 
  the woman's foolish sacrifice, and it rebounded upon myself...And 
  now, I was tested, and it appeared that one or more of my 
  experiments had worked...for I had not been killed, though the curse 
  should have done it..."

  If Voldemort had made an Unbreakable Vow, wouldn't he blame that 
  instead of Lily's sacrifice?  And, there's also the possibility that 
  Voldemort's memory was jumbled and he doesn't remember taking the 
  vow so he is speculating on how he ended up Spectral!Mort. A really 
  good post Chris, but I'm not sure it works with what canon has 
  revealed so far.
