While attepting to fill time during a slow evening at work, I decided
to puruse the editorials on mugglenet and found one of interest.
Not too long ago, there came a thread about love potions and Merope
and Tom Sr. The editorial on mugglenet
(http://www.mugglenet.com/editorials/editorials/edit-pamelap01.shtml)
deals similarly with this topic but takes an approach I do not
remember reading about so I thought I'd bring it up.
What if the evil of Tom Jr stems from the result of his "unnatural"
birth? Could the love potion that flowed through Tom Srs veins have an
adverse effect on his ability to love? Could this be the reason that
the Fidelious Charm was so strong and VM could not touch Harry? If
anyone has read the Gregory Magurire book WICKED or seen the musical,
something similar happens. The Wicked Witch of the West was a child of
an adulterous relationship and therefore was the color of GREEN. She
was not evil to begin with but events lead her to turn evil. The
events surround her conception, such as Tom Jrs, lead to her
personality and adult form.
I don't know if anyone else has thought about it but upon reading that
editorial, I thought it brought up an interesting question. Could the
Love Potion (false love) have been a catalyst in the Evil of
Voldemort?
