In my re-read to prepare for HPB, I ran across a line that jumped out at me as it had not before:

[Barty Crouch] "And both of us had the pleasure... the very great pleasure... of killing our fathers, to ensure the continued rise of the Dark Order!" [Bloombury paperback, p. 589]

 

Huh??  OK, I get Barty Crouch killing his father to ensure the rise of the Dark Order, but Tom Riddle???  He didn't just off Dad and the Grans for vengeance, apparently, but how would a death in 1945 ensure the rise of the Dark Order twenty years later?  And if it's a reference to his rebirth, how would he have known in 1945 he needed to kill his father?   Hmmm....

 

akh, who's willing to admit she may be over-analyzing the text...
