This was a good post! I think you're right. In the first year of 
Harry's life he was loved deeply by his parents. Although he 
experienced abuse and neglect at the Dursley's house, he had a heart 
and obviously that is what sets him apart from Voldemort. I think 
that Voldemort displays sociopathic behavior. Like Criminally insane
