A question I've always wanted to ask is: Would Voldemort have still been Voldemort if Tom Riddle hadn't left, or would he just be Tom Marvolo Riddle?

[Franklyfrankie]

I don't think it's irrelevant, but it's difficult to answer - Tom Riddle was always going to leave, he was essentially being held captive. Personally I don't think Tom Jr would have had a particularly pleasant childhood even if his mother had survived and his father remained under her powers. He would probably have become Voldemort in the end anyway.

My question: what would have happened if Fawkes never came in the Chamber of Secrets?

I think that if his mother had survived, he would have been unhappy, but not evil. I think that she would have helped him feel what love was, but that he still might have killed his father because of the pain he had caused them.

Thats a gay, near irrelevant question
