> Pippin:
> In "Kings Cross", Dumbledore tells Harry that Harry's blood is Voldemort's one hope for himself. DD doesn't explain what this means, but Harry already knows that remorse is the only way a damaged soul can be repaired. 

Kemper now:
Okay.

> Pippin
> There are hints that the reconstructed Voldemort is not quite the person that he was. He does things that seem out of character for his earlier self: forgiving his errant Death Eaters, rescuing Bella from the ministry even after she failed him, and at one point in DH being aware that not trusting is a choice.  

Kemper now:
I don't see this as forgiveness.  He needs his Death Eaters to be more powerful and scary.  He rescues Bella because his other Death Eaters have been caught and so has lost supporters which make him less powerful and scary.  It's calculating not forgiving which makes Harry's suggestion of remorse still laughable.
