"I can safely say Voldemort was driven by power. He wanted to be the most powerful wizard in the world. I wonder if fear could have also been a motivating factor in Voldemort's decisions. He was very proud he was a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin, but he hid the fact that he was a half blood. Voldemort considered pureblood wizards to be superior to all other wizards, but when he heard Trelawney's prophecy, he decided Harry Potter, the half blood, was a true threat to him. Neville Longbottom was a pureblood. He should have been more of a threat to Voldemort than Harry. The Dark Lord used intemidation to keep his pureblood deatheaters in line. With the exception of Bellatrix Lestrange, he didn't trust any of them. Voldemort trusted Snape above all the other deatheaters. Snape was a halfblood too, but he too hid that fact. Sorry about rambling on that this professor. I just can't put my finger on the point I'm trying to make." |
