What Has Gone Before
Another possible name
I believe the German word for genocide is Vulkermord or something along those lines. Could this be an inspiration for the name Voldemort? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Illustrious One (talk • contribs) 15:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, it could. But finding a citation that JKR chose Voldemort based on that would require some pretty solid citation. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 18:31, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, you may be right. Illustrious One
OCD?
I'm not sure if this has been raised before, and I figured I'd ask instead of just adding it. Does Tom (that's how I think of him) have a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? He is a meticulous planner, sometimes to almost absurdly small details, and does get thoroughly obsessed with some things (Hogwarts, Harry, the Elder Wand, etc) quite easily.

- I'm sure that's quite likely, but such an analysis would be considered original research here.—Loveはドコ? (talk • contribs) 05:25, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- It is thoroughly possible but many intelligent leaders obsess over little details. Napoleon, William the Conquerer, Julius Caesar. And besides, Voldemort seems to be a breeding ground for mental disorders, lol. Illustrious One
"Union"
In the portion of the article referring to Tom Riddle Sr.'s coerced relationship with Merope, the word "union" is linked to a disambiguation page... Which really contributes nothing. I'm pretty sure that Tom and Merope's union wasn't the European Union. What should we take this to refer to? Physical intimacy, marriage or pregnancy? --Dark Green (talk) 04:03, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, by the way, please leave a note on my talk page if you reply to this or fix the link, or something, so I know to check back as soon as possible. Thanks! --Dark Green (talk) 04:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
