he never responded to affection or attention even as a baby. He was strange
from the first. Harry would know that they'd be just repeating history...

   
  KATIE RESPONDS:
  I don't know...I think one of the major themes of the books is the ability to make choices and change one's life - to choose whether to be a good or a bad person...
  Now, assuming for a moment that taking Voldemort back to babyhood actually gave him back his whole soul, in other words, he doesn't take on just the form of a baby, but actually becomes the baby he once was, I think this could be a great ending. Harry would be relieved of having to be a murderer, Tom Riddle gets the chance to grow up with love (maybe raised by the ever-loving Molly Weasley? or by Harry and Ginny?), and the world is saved in completely non-violent way. I actually really like that idea. Voldemort gets a second chance - a chance to choose to be a good person. Dumbledore would certainly approve, I think. And Tom Riddle would be reborn - not Voldemort. Assuming, of course, that he got a soul back. 
  I think that would fit with the overall themes of the books...the whole idea of scond chances and choice. ALthough I doubt that will actually happen that way. But I like it. Katie
