The REAL Reason Voldemort Became EVIL - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Tom Marvolo Riddle was born at Wool’s Orphanage on New Years eve, 1926 to Merope Gaunt, a pure-blood witch and the daughter of Marvolo Gaunt.

Tragically, Merope died shortly after Riddle was born, the result of a broken heart. Abandoned by the man that she loved and suffering complications from childbirth paired with starvation and/or hypothermia, Merope no longer had any desire to live, and made no attempts to utilize magic to save her own life.

In interviews conducted AFTER the series ended, JK Rowling opens up the possibility of Voldemort LOVING something, someone. She said it herself, if Merope had survived and been there to raise him, then there’s a very good chance that he COULD have loved. This means that he was never quite as emotionally incapable as other canon suggests.

So my question is..If the transformation of Tom Riddle in to Voldemort could have been avoided by some love and care, then what on earth happened to him at the orphanage? I suppose it’s possible that he simply needed the love and care of his mother- but, weren’t the caregivers at the orphanage good to Tom? Or, was it actually Tom’s upbringing that was directly responsible for creating the monster that tore apart the Wizarding World?
