Bart:
    Last I heard, Morty was a fictional character in a book. Therefore, 
as I have pointed out before, one must look at JKR's potential 
knowledge, not technical knowledge of an expert. But you must have 
missed an earlier post in the thread, where I specifically wrote, 
"Voldemort corresponds more to Dr. Robert Hare's Psychopathy Checklist 
than to the official textbook definitions"; the post to which you 
responded was just expanding on that.
