Connecting the dots

Excellent thought about Grindelwald. I don't have the books in front 
of me to
check for
sure, but I don't recall anything that clearly demarks the name as 
referencing
an
individual. Very interesting shift of perspective on that.

The following are some highly speculative points on what is already a
speculative theory
many do not subscribe to.

So well all know the Sally didn't like less than whole bloods. So 
would SS
really be willing
to share himself in his entirety, i.e, invest his entire powers, with 
less than
a whole blood.
So yes, if DD is puppetmaster, he might well choose to draw out SS 
with someone
less
than a whole blood. Better to try to deal with an enemy at less than 
full force.
And perhaps
why SS as possessor has not yet found a final residence--seeking to 
reside in
those
potentially powerful, but frustrated that those powerful targets of 
opportunity
are never
consistent with his standards. Almost like DD is secretly taunting 
SS. Likely
not the way it
is, but these are the thoughts your post generated.

Snow:
For some reason this made me think of JKR's statement on her site 
that if Ginny would have died that Voldemort would have become 
something almost unconquerable:

Section: F.A.Q.
In 'Chamber of Secrets', what would have happened if Ginny had died 
and Tom Riddle had escaped the diary?
"I can't answer that fully until all seven books are finished, but it 
would have strengthened the present-day Voldemort considerably."

If Riddle had re-birthed himself using Ginny's soul Tom would have 
possibly become the pureblood that Salazar needed being as his own 
last remaining heir was born half pure grain muggle and therefore of 
little value to the cause. After all Riddle said in the Chamber that 
his diary self was there to someday lead another, not himself in 
particular, to continue Slytherin's noble work:

"I decided to leave behind a diary, preserving my sixteen-year-old 
self in its pages, so that one day, with luck, I would be able to 
lead another in my footsteps, and finish Salazar Slytherin's noble 
work." COS pg. 312 U.S.

Tom had little intention to continue Slytherin's noble work until 
such time that he could renew himself with the qualifications sought 
by the Great Salazar, which of course is purity of blood and the 
nobility that it represents.
Nobility is what pureblood idealism is all about and Ginny is not 
only pureblood but also the first girl to appear in the Weasley clan 
for generations (must be of significance). 
Sirius Black stated that his parents, with their snake emblems, 
thought themselves to be royalty because of their pureblood status:

"Because I hated the whole lot of them; my parents, with their pure-
blood mania, convinced that to be a Black made you practically royal

OOP  pg. 111 U.S.

Slytherin may have only accepted the pure blood children, back then, 
into his house but went one step further and asked that only the 
purebloods be taught in the entire school. If this were a true 
statement it would make you wonder what house Riddle was actually in 
since he was anything but pureblood. As far as I can remember it's 
always been assumed that Tom was in Slytherin house but what if he 
wasn't and he found that the reason he wasn't in Slytherin house was 
because of his muggle born father. It would be incentive to go 
looking for his mother's side of the family and what he could learn 
about them in an attempt to make himself the royalty he thinks he 
should be associated with. Riddle denounced his father's name and 
counted himself a pureblood but he wasn't. Riddle could, however, 
possibly achieve such a feat by leading another in an attempt to 
complete Slytherin's noble work. A pureblood's soul that could awaken 
Diary!Tom, the last heir, to the pureblooded service that Salazar 
needed. 

Tom's immediate service though was to himself, he needed time, he 
needed to live on until he could supply Slytherin with what Salazar 
desired because he was the last living heir that could do so. The 
quest was on to ensure his own immortality but he would need help in 
doing this. Just a few trusted friends were informed of the newly 
appointed Lord Voldemort's motives. 
Did you notice that no one went to school with Tom, other than Hagrid 
and Myrtle, the majority of the deatheaters being significantly 
younger than Riddle would not have gone to school with him but if you 
use what you've been told about purebloods it would only make sense 
that the Malfoy's Crabbe's and Goyle's etc. aren't a new found 
family. The Malfoy's in particular are the favorite as one of Tom's 
confidants. 
Lucius knowledge of information, that no one else has, makes this 
suspicion verifiable: 

(1)	Lucius attempt with the diary to bring back the heir of 
Slytherin using a pureblood for Tom's rebirth.
(2)	Lucius unflinching response to Harry's accusation that 
Voldemort is part muggle in the Ministry.
(3)	There is also the unique way in which Lucius acted and was 
treated in the graveyard that seems suspiciously like Lucius had the 
goods on Voldemort that Voldy did not wish to have discussed in front 
of the fray. 

Lucius comes from a very long line of purebloods that may have 
supported Salazar in his attempts to rid the school years ago from 
impurities. Lucius father and forefathers were all from the house of 
Slytherin, according to Draco, and hold steadfast to the noble work 
of Slytherin of ridding the school of muggle borns. Lucius doesn't 
appear to be backing Voldemort and Voldy's personal ambitions but 
does represent the personal views of Slytherin himself by his 
Quidditch World Cup escapades. 

Tom Riddle, at first, was working to the dedicated causes of Salazar 
but quickly changed to his own agenda using Slytherin's unique cause 
as his motivation for the deatheaters membership. Tom surrounded 
himself with purebloods and may have even absorbed some of their very 
essence when he joined with them through the dark mark insignia to 
become united under the sign that is representative of Slytherin.  

Voldemort, during his pre-Harry reign, had succeeded in becoming 
almost unconquerable but 'someone' put a carrot in front of the 
horse's nose, via the prophecy, and prompted Voldemort to seek and 
find a new power, a power that could inevitability even kill him and 
he was intrigued by this unknown power to the degree of his own 
demise. Voldemort didn't seek out the Potter's or their son, only the 
power that he had been told this youngster might have been born with. 
Voldemort only came to Godric's Hollow to absorb the power that the 
child had in an attempt to make himself more powerful, not to seek 
out and destroy. 

Just my warped thoughts!
