Exodusts:
We would? Isn't one of JKR's central theses the contention that "it is
our choices that make us who we are"? Sounds like she leans towards
nurture instead of nature in the eternal debate. If Voldemort became
Diaper!Mort (which I don't think is likely to happen, but is an
interestingly improbable possibility), then he might, if brought up
with Love(TM), become a different person to the Voldemort we know and
hate.
