Sartoris22:
Because of Voldemort's family background, I feel some sympathy for him. Essentially, he seems a guy trying to get back at the father who abandoned him. Bellatrix, on the other hand, comes from privilege and seems to hate Muggles only for their difference, their inferiority, in her mind. Bellatrix gleefully kills Sirius, her own family, and apparently delights in murder. Even Voldemort might construe murder, in some way, as means to an end--the magical power of splitting the soul seven times. Bellatrix, however, seems a maniacal true believer. Of all the characters, she is the person I would most fear being alone with in a room.
