Magpie:
I didn't get that either. Wanting to feel remorse is already feeling some sort of remorse. Voldemort's choices showed what he was through his life, and remorse was never anything he felt. I don't think he was ever even described as having an illness. I didn't think he became a different person (thus someone who would make a different choice to show he was different) with Harry's blood.
