Potioncat:
Do you only like C!M because he got to Snape or is there something 
else? When I've re-read GoF, I've been amazed at how well JKR kept 
the C!M moments workable pre-and-post first reading. That is, the 
wording still works after you know who he really is. It seems to me 
that both Snape and Crouch, Jr have so much more potential than Tom 
Riddle.

But, I don't like the character of C!M at all. Everything he does is 
for one outcome---to deliver Harry to LV. His acts of "kindness" are 
particularly evil.

Potioncat:
Yep, JKR did a good job of leaving the motivation for all Snape's 
actions questionable. He and C!M are mirror images. At least, by the 
last page of DH they will be.
