Amelia Bones' death was a piece in a much bigger picture. One that 
included Hepizbah Smith and James Potter as having pure blood lines 
from the founders of Hogwarts.

His search for other wizarding heirs may be a motive for kidnapping of 
Florean Fortescue (HBP 6), provider of ice-cream sundeas and ADVICE 
ABOUT MEDIEVAL WITCHCRAFT to Harry (POA 4). He may be reknown a 
history expert and easier to grab than Professor Binns (not only 
because he is in Hogwarts, but also because it is hard to grab a 
ghost). (Lexicon also says a Fortescue was a past Heeadmaster of 
Hogwarts - OOP 27)

I think LV is not on a quest that started from Tom Riddle, but a Dark 
Wizard quest inherited through the ages. I have some rough ideas it 
may extend back as far as Salazar Slytherin himself. (The Basalisk may 
not have been the only thing of SS locked in the Chamber of Secrets 
for centuries, known only in rumours to even Professor Binns.)

It was the 3 other founders unity in accepting Muggle-born to study at 
Hogwarts that drove Slytherin away. With those heirs gone, Salazar's 
heir can try to reclaim the school for pure bloods.
