As a Halfblood, a fact that very few alive were even aware of, Lord Voldemort did not prescribe to the belief of blood supremacy that so many of his early followers did. That had simply been a ploy to get more influential members of society involved in his plans to take over the wizarding world. Once Harry Potter was no longer a threat to his plans to live forever, the Dark Lord made his true feelings clear. Anyone who had any small bit of magical power was welcome in his new society provided they showed complete and total loyalty to him. It was a change in policy that angered many of the staunchest blood purists, but the Dark Lord left no room for dissension. "Comply or die" had been his mantra.
