Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
question
Who else pities voldemort?

I was just thinking, Voldemort was a boy, who was abandoned by everyone and placed in an orphanage in which he was not treated well, he was in the same situation as harry and snape, and for the other two, love saved them, but for voldemort, his craving and need for love was not fulfilled and so he became a narcissist as a form of mental survival.

Giving Voldemort a love potion wouldn't make him capable of love, only make him infatuated...love can't be manufactured.
I do pity him. I pity the fact that he could never love. I pity the fact that he saw love as weak.
But in the end, it's really Tom Riddle for whom I shed a tear. He didn't choose to be conceived under the effects of a love potion. He didn't choose to have his father leave him and his mother choose to die rather than stay alive for him. He didn't choose his circumstances. Before he chose to become Voldemort, he was just a lonely boy with no friends, no family, and no one who cared.

havent bad stuff happen to you at the hands of your own family is worse than if it had been by a stranger.
Only a little. I feel bad for the child that was abandoned and forced to live in an orphanage. But that child became an adult who was clearly a sociopath with a comorbid narcissistic personality disorder. I don't feel bad for that person. After all, Dumbledore himself said that it is our choices that make us who we are.
I feel a slight pity for Voldemort. no-one told him how to act and how to behave-Kinda reminds me of Sebastian from The Mortal Instruments Series.
No. Choices are choices, whatever the explanation for them. Everyone is in charge of their own choices.
Well in a way I pity him. I pity him as a child, because of course he was mistreated, which forced him to go down a dark path. By the time he made it to Hogwarts where he was respected more, the damage had already been done.
I don't pity him after that, though. He made his choices, no matter what drove him to make those choices.

I pity him as a child only :( . From a child's point of view we can agree that he had reasons to be bad. But when we grow up we can understand about good things and bad things. So when Voldemort grew up he had a thirst for power. So i don't pity grown up Voldemort, but the child, Tom Riddle.
Exactly. That's the point. Voldemort and Harry were both abandoned in a way and had a terrible childhood however Voldemort chose to hate everyone and seek revenge and everything whereas Harry remained kind and humble and selfless.
I also kinda blame Voldemort's mother for how he turned out because Voldemort's inability to love was her fault. She was a very weak woman and if she could have just pulled herself together for her child if not for herself then MAYBE things would have turned out different.
PS- What if someone gave voldy a love potion??

Poor old Voldie. So messed up as a kid, so bitter. He's so calculating. If something is obstructing his path, he destroys it. And that's that. Reckon it has anything to do with Dumbledore's irritating calm? It's excruciating.
