Pippin:
I know. I know. But to give him his due, Voldemort was a teenager
during the golden age of pulp fiction when skull-faced villains who
could turn into snakes were all the rage.
Besides which, insane dysfunctional people are by definition
incapable of self-improvement, so lists of that sort are of little
use to them.
Turning into a snake is the pulp fiction equivalent of chasing all
the really clever scientists out of the country or starting an Asian
land war. The fact that it never works doesn't seem to register.
