Albus Dumbledore theorised that Merope used love potions in order to attract him, and eventually, she fell pregnant with the future Lord Voldemort. The magical enhancements didn't last forever, though, and once they were gone, so was Tom Riddle, leaving a pregnant Merope to give birth, then die of a broken heart.
Riddle ultimately changed his name, by way of an anagram, from "Tom Marvolo Riddle" to "I am Lord Voldemort", as a way of removing his own heritage and of exalting himself, and he killed the Riddle family, partly because they were Muggles, and partly because they abandoned him and his mother.
Harry and Voldemort launched themselves off a bridge, grappled with each other and then duelled in an explosive spectacle, before Harry's spell overcame his. After that, Voldemort's body disintegrated into layers upon layers of ash and floated away into the wind.
Tom Riddle becomes so disfigured primarily because of his Horcruxes. Before his enterprising Dark Arts work, nobody had ever made more than one Horcrux.
After leaving Hogwarts in 1945, Riddle surprised everyone by working at a dark magic shop named Borgin and Burkes on Knockturn Alley. His job there was to ferret out items of value and obtain them at the lowest price possible.
We also meet Tom Riddle, who is, as it turns out, the heir of Slytherin. Present only in spirit, he has all the same been controlling Ginny, and having her act as Slytherin's heir. We also meet the Monster of the Chamber, a basilisk.
Not surprisingly, the one person who always seemed to see through the act was Dumbledore. Dumbledore had seen the true Tom Riddle when they first met: the boy who tortured, stole, and completely abused his powers. As a result, Dumbledore never fully trusted him, and Tom never even tried to win Dumbledore's trust.
Voldemort also “was unable and unwilling to express remorse or empathy for the countless crimes he had committed” (wiki). It is astonishingly evident that Voldemort has an antisocial personality disorder.
The prevailing theory has been that Voldemort lost his nose throughout his life due to his exclusive use of Dark Magic. This was only amplified as he split his soul to create Horcruxes.
That worked because when Lily was killed, she had tried to protect Harry and therefore gave him the most powerful weapon against Voldemort; Love. Love is the one thing that Voldemort is unable to handle and therefore when Quirrell was touched by Harry he burnt him with love.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
Because Voldemort contains Harry's blood, as long as Voldemort is alive he preserves Lily Potter's charm, so Harry can't die at his hand. Thus, paradoxically, while Harry had to die before Voldemort could, Harry can't die while Voldemort lives.
It is revealed during the series that Hagrid attended Hogwarts while Tom Riddle was also a student at the school, and that Hagrid was expelled during his third year (because Riddle, in his pre-Lord Voldemort days, framed him for opening the Chamber of Secrets).
Rowling said in an interview that Dumbledore was about 150 years old. However, on her website, she states that Dumbledore was born in 1881, making him either 115 or 116 at the time of his death.
Snape is a sinister and malicious teacher who makes frequent snide and disparaging remarks at Harry's expense. He quickly becomes the primary antagonist of the book, as Harry suspects him of plotting to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and of attempting to kill him.
This is because of a jinx/spell called The Taboo. In the Second Wizarding War, it was Taboo to speak Voldemort's name. In 1997, Voldemort became in charge of the British Ministry of Magic and ensured that no one could speak his name.
The name was accurate, as he was indeed from half-blood lineage. Snape's mother was a witch named Eileen Prince, while his father was Tobias Snape, a muggle. In terms of story-writing purposes, it draws a parallel to Harry, who was also a half-blood because his mother, Lily, was muggle-born.
Tom Riddle has a witch mother and a Muggle father, making him a half-blood wizard.
By the time he was Lord Voldemort (despite what I said earlier about the graveyard scene), Tom Riddle had become fully and completely asexual. The Death Eaters are characters featured in the Harry Potter series of novels and films. such as Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, and Peter Pettigrew had appeared in.
After much speculation, J.K. Rowling, author of Harry Potter, revealed that Voldemort's greatest fear is " ignominious death," and that his boggart would be his own corpse. What Voldemort desires most is to be all-powerful and to live forever – which is what he would see if he were ever to look in the Mirror of Erised.
I think this could be said of many INTJs, but in short, Riddle would likely be attracted to someone with both intelligence and power. We see this in the books, somewhat, with his association with Bellatrix Lestrange.
He finds out for sure immediately after Nagini's attack on Arthur Weasley. This night is significant in many ways. While Harry sleeps, he enters Nagini's mind.
Harry is the Heir of Gryffindor (though his powers have been bound by his father when he was a baby), Neville is the Heir of Hufflepuff, Meghan (OFC, daughter of Sirius) is the Heir of Ravenclaw. Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Remus/Tonks. Sixth year. After a rare magical illness Harry becomes outstandingly powerful.
After he regains his body in the fourth book, Rowling describes Voldemort as having pale skin, a chalk-white, skull-like face, snake-like slits for nostrils, red eyes and cat-like slits for pupils, a skeletally thin body and long, thin hands with unnaturally long fingers.
