Cool. :)
It occurred to me 'cause of this really great theory I love about them--but I'll just save that for when the challenge comes up (and share it with proper credit to to who came up with the theory).
Also, I've been thinking about Voldemort/Tom Riddle a lot. And I can't really find a place to vent about him. How I wished he would've been a character. An interesting villain. It bothers me 'cause he had potential, but just ended up kinda flat to me by the end. Too much of an archetype/symbol for The Evil. Evil from the start, doomed from the beginning--like someone said once, I wanted to see him struggle in his past between good and evil and then fall--not be given the air of inevitability. So much choice. I wanted tragedy, and a fall would've been tragic--instead, not much of an emotional punch at all.
And I'm usually such a Villain fan, finding their appealing and complex traits--and Voldemort had that potenial. But it was wasted.
