Reflections on Voldemort

Hi All,

So far in the series we have seen Voldemort accumulating many magical
handicaps. These are
1. To regenerate He used Harry's blood, (the gleam in the eye of
Dumbledore), thus causing some sort of weakness. What exactly this
weakness is will perhaps be revealed in book 7.
2. He has a servant who owe's a life debt to Harry. At some critical
moment in the final battle I think that this will be critical.
3. A soul that is brutally battered.
4. Afraid of the unknown. A control freak?
5. A cursed half life for slaying and drinking the blood of the
unicorn.

In addition to this he has the following non magical weakness:
1. Inability to trust anyone and a propensity to operate alone and in
secrecy.
2.  A tendency to make complicated plans. For example to get the
prophecy he could have taken polyjuice potion (transforming himself
into Lucius Malfoy) got in the chamber of records, taken the prophecy.
He could then have taken polyjuice potion again and gone on his merry
way.


I think that a combination of the above will be instrumental in
defeating him. An inability to trust others will mean that some
important task or piece of information will stay with him, when
someones help or perspective would have helped. Then a trap will be
laid out for him. The bait will be some trophy he desires greatly
(magpie tendency) like Gryfindors sword. Here the order will combine
their talents to defeat him, with the life debt causing wormtail to
freeze at some crucial moment. Perhaps at the crucial moment the curse
of the unicorn will weaken him. The coup de grace being delivered by
Harry.

UshitK--long time lurker.
