yeah it did say that, but he still had a hard time doing it.

He was trying to convince Harry that he was the good guy. It was all an act. Remember he was the one who was actually causeing all the trouble in the first place.

Yeah, he tried to lure Harry into thinking that Harry was just like Voldie, and that Tom was the good guy in this whole thing.

Exactly, he wanted to frame someone else so nobody would suspect him- didn't he say (in the Chamber of Secrets, near the end) something like it was his word against Hagrid's, and everyone would believe him rather than an oaf that raised wolf cubs under his bed and was always in trouble. Once Hagrid had been expelled, he was off the hook completely.

Dumbledore said he travelled the world and fell so deeply into the Dark Arts, that when he came back people couldnt even tell it was him. Maybe he was a big supporter of Grindlewauld (sp?) and when he fell he wanted to carry on?

That does make sense - can't believe I never thought of that....and it fits time-wise and everything :smile:

I don't think that Voldie "gave" him those qualities. He would have got that from hs parns, esecially from James (rule breaking!). He could have enhanced those qualiies, but they would have been in Hary fom the start.

I was thinking, if Harry does defeat Voldie and kill him, would the powers he got from Voldie also go? E.g. will he still be a parseltongue afterwards? (Big assumption that Harry survives) :smile:

I don't think that they would go. The powers were transferred to Harry. They aren't a link between Harry and Voldie.

I'm sure his powers would stay- they are his now- not his by tapping through Vold- I'm sure the "others" are animagus, plus some funky spells-

going back a bit- I'm sure that a wand can't tell what a wizard will become, or no evil wizards would get wands- I'm sure they just sense power- and Voldie and Harry are both powerful- and I doubt Fawkes has any say in who gets his feathers-

also to note- the SORTING HAT is always a good key- its the one who said that Slytherin and Gryffindor were friends but Slytherin split off from them and went away- I'm still guessing something with this break is the reason for such crossovers in powers and looks with Voldie and Harry- maybe Slytherin and Gryffindor's kids married or maybe they were cousins- but the similarity in looks (also with James) is just too odd and brought up too often

It could be just a big coincidence that Harry and Voldemort share looks, but knowing JK it is something like that.

Yes it is mentioned several times how Tom and Harry (that leaves Dick doesn't it, but I digress with these random comments!) both look very similar except for Harry's green eyes. So once again the Lily factor, I wonder what so special about his eyes!

Just don't forget that they also say Harry looks like James- so therefore- James looks like Voldie as well- I still think there is something way up with the founders about this.........

A completely random thought...has it been mentioned anywhere what the ratio of wizarding folk to muggles is?

Another slightly off topic thing (from reading some of the early posts on this forum again) Has it been mentioned anywhere how the prophesies come to be recorded? Is it a magic process as per the Quill which detects all wizarding children to invite to Hogwarts? If that is the case, it would have known whether the prophesy was about Harry or Neville.
If the system relies on people reporting true prophesies then why did Dumbledore volunteer to record the prophesy knowing that Voldie would one day come looking for it?

yeah, and the ministry was of course on the good side, so there really wouldd be no reason not too report it.
