Amanda:
I enjoyed the insight to the theme vs. 7 deadlies. 
In reading the 7th sin, I could not help but think 
of the opinion that LV is full of Gluttony for power
and to be the One leader. 
   
The definition above for gluttony first states-
<desire to consume more than one requires>
LV is the top choice I would choose of the 
HP characters.
   
The second part of the definition above states- 
<Temperance accepts natural limits of pleasures>
LV has a level of "temperance" (self-control) in
limiting the amount of times his soul can be unna-
turally (in his opinion naturally) split for his 
pleasure (seven times).
   
Lastly, the definition above states- 
<This pertains not only to food, but to entertainment
and the company of other people> To LV power is his food, 
torture is his entertainment,and even though he does not 
care for anyone but himself, the company of the death 
eaters feeds his hunger for more power in that there are
those that would follow him.
   
Let me know what you think
