    Rowling needs to write a story about a sociopathic character who should be a death eater but helps dumbledore because he doesn’t want to take orders from voldemort. Someone who is nastier than snape, more elitist than lucius and more unstable than bellatrix. He could casually use unforgivable curses, openly despise mudbloods, consume illegal substances, beat his house elf and generally act like a jerk by both muggle and wizard standards

    I suspect that the reason the Death Eaters chose to overlook Voldemort's short comings was a combination of Riddle's charisma, and their own self delusions. There is a curious disconnect in the mind of a person who follows a person destined to be a dictator. No matter how much negative information there is about the person, they will explain it all away, and rationalize that the person they've chosen to follow is the best leader for the times.

      Especially considering he was a parselatounge

      Exactly! That's why people like Trump, Hitler etc. get so many cult followers

      Sounds like a certain someone running for president and that someone's adoring fans.

      And the fact he was the last living descendant of Salazar Slytherin

    Fear and wonder. He never talked about being a half blood and only spoke about his pure blood ancestor Slytherin

    Maybe, it's due to the fact that Voldemort is the descendant of Salazar Slytherin is why the death eaters overlooked his half blood status. Although, I wonder why they ignore that Snape is also half blood?

      I mean, the KKK allowed Ron Stallworth to join. It gives an aura of legitimacy to the organization if someone who would be oppressed by their ideology joins them.

    Probably because he's the heir of Slytherin.

    The last of the Gaunt bloodline and heir to Slytherin probably compensates the halfblood stain in their eyes.

      Or they just need a powerful figurehead for their cause. They're up against Dumbledore, who's influential and powerful. Who else will fight him? Lucius Malfoy?

    I understand why Voldemort and his followers have nothing good to say about Wormtail, I answered a Quora Question explaining why Peter Pettigrew was the character with the most bad luck in the benefits for others; Not even the Hogwarts teachers had much good to say about him either or most of Pettigrew's own schoolmates either, not including his fellow Marauders.

    I wonder if rowling got thst idea about the death eaters following Voldemort even though he was not a pureblood wizzard from an actual person who had ancestry in this person they were trying to eliminate off the face of the earth. Voldemort hated mudbloods or mughle borns and halfbloods so much but he himself was half blood so being a hypocrite big time just like the real person, just not a witch or wizard just had ancestry of the very people he hated so much and also didnt want any children to pass that down the line, continuing that bloodline.
    Im talking about Hitler which yall probably already knew that ans guessed at it if you read this, but at least he kept it hidden and didnt disclose this to anyone fearing a backlash and his lackeys might turn on him too and might think well if we ain to do this we got to get rid of everyone with jewish background. Also it was ideal to them to get rid of anyone with mental or physical disabilities. Euthanasia was the answer, even experiments done on them, jewish babies etc. Hitler had a very serious mental disease, one of them might be bipolar, manic depression schizophrenia paranoia, and in some videos you see his hand shaking that he was trying so hard to hide from the people he was shaking hands with while doing a WW2 style meet and greet, Parkinson's . Combine all that plus doctors cramming drugs dlwn his throat lime Meth, heroine etc made his mental stability even worse. His minions would carry out his evel deeds on these poor souls without deserving, even if it was its still awful and extremely cuel and unlawful punishment. Voldemort was mentally unstable as well had minions to do his requests, so.. I'm wondering if she got that part of the story from that evil monster and his subordinates?
    Also i hear about Snape being a good guy but if Lilly Potter and her family wasnt the target but it was long bottoms he went to kill Snape wouldn't have turned his back on the death eaters and followed his master if the potters weren't targeted. He would still be one and not a double agent. At gorst when he found out lilly was endangered he just wanted her safe and didnt even think about james or Harry. And he asked the dark lord to spare her but didnt even think about the other 2. To me he wasnt that good of a man. I can understand him wanting james dead since he was cruel towards snape being bullied by him throughout his days as a student. Also he himself is a halfblood but was excepted to become one of them( a death eater)
    Am i wrong or do you think he is a douchebag?

    in the graveyard, Voldemort pressed Pettigrew’s mark, presumably his new body did not have a mark.. do we know if Voldemort had the mark before the he went to the Potters..

  • @jackley2113

    Most Death Eaters didn’t even know Voldemorts heritage
    Dumbledore stated a couple times that very few people knew that Tom Riddle Jr is the one who grew up to be Lord Voldemort
    When Harry & the crew got trapped at the Ministry of Magic Bellatrix called Harry a filthy half blood
    He responded by asking if she knew Voldemort was a half blood too, and Bellatrix tried to curse him before calling him a filthy liar
    If Bellatrix didn’t know I’m pretty sure most of them didn’t know

    I would imagine that any would be Death Eaters who shunned Voldemort for his heritage would be made examples of.

    I have always thought it was a combination of 3 things.
    1. They respected Half Bloods who where so disgusted by their muggle blood they would be willing to cut it out if they could.
    2. He was intelligent and powerful not to mention charismatic.
    3. He was of the line of Syletherin.

    I disagree with you that Snape received the dark mark to control him, but was at the top of the Dark Lord’s highly trusted lieutenants until the end

    It is possible that Tom Riddle Sr. may have had a relative or three who were magical folk. Squibs missing a generation or three would be considered Muggles. But some remnants of magical genes may have been resident and when paired, result in a particularly powerful wizard.
    Something like that may have resulted in Hermione Granger becoming as powerfuļ a witch as she is. Who knows how near or far back her family may have wizards &/or witches in their background. Those genes can hide very well until they find each other.

    What page in the half blood Prince did he talk to his fellow Slytherin about him being half blood? I never kept a close watch on the movies, but if he did in the movies, then I would not even consider it Harry Potter canon.

      He's been convicted for breaking business law and tax fraud. Apparently someone who actively breaks laws for personal gain is deserving of the presidency.
