I had a lot to chew over. For starters: Why would anybody in his or her right mind follow this Voldemort? The man's a prize bungler, and, from what Harry said, not too sane. Merely avoiding his mistakes will do much to put me on top here in magical society. To put the icing on the cake, he apparently feels that he's owed loyalty, while owing nobody anything in return. When the time comes, I shall make sure to find ways to get his ostensible followers on my side, even if only until my final victory. Once I'm on top, they're eminently expendable, and with "Death Eater" in their backgrounds, nobody will ask too many inconvenient questions.
