Geoff:
I have often thought to myself that Voldemort, being a half-blood, 
is comparable with Hitler who pursued his policies of pure Aryanism 
despite meeting the Aryan criteria himself. I haven't got the details to 
hand but I seem to recall he had some sort of Jewish connection as well.

I was also reminded by the chapter "The Muggle-Born Registration 
Commission" of the similarities between Voldemort's policies and 
Hitler's aim to remove the Jews and Eastern European peoples whom 
he considered sub-human - echoed in the attitiudes towards centaurs 
for example, and often begun by enforced registration and the need 
for folk to prove their pureblood Aryan family line.
