    3:00 Let's not forget that Tom was born in an Orphanage, grew up DURING the GREAT DEPRESSION, and went to school for his 1st year literally DAYS before WORLD WAR 2 started, and went back every single summer even when the LONDON BLITZ of all things was happening and graduated just after WW2 along with the defeat of Grindlewald. It is no frakking wonder why he turned out the way he did!! And it completely justifies with his boggart being his own corpse too!!
    Edit: It also didn't help that the Gaunt's were extremely incestuous because of their extreme belief in blood purity. Add in that, and you got a child with extreme disposition towards mental instability. Though it didn't help that Merope used a love potion to "bewitch" a man to "fall in love" with her just to escape her messed up family. Not justifying anything, but it happened.

    I respectfully disagree. Tom Riddle, Sr. and Merope Gaunt were legally married so just leaving her didn't terminate the relationship. He could have sought an annulment, but Merope was pregnant with his child, who like it or not, was his legal heir and most laws are strict about annulment if children are involved. Even if Tom, Sr. married after Merope died, the younger Tom was his legal heir and preceded any other offspring he might have. So he would have to explain to any future wives about Merope and how he left her and already had a son. It is interesting to note that Tom, Sr. never married (and we're talking about in the 30's when there was a worldwide depression and i have to believe lots of ladies would have overlooked his personality). So imagine the comments made by the Riddle family when young Tom appeared. I suspect he was unprepared for seeing them at all, probably figuring that they were dead, only to find out they were all very much alive and most probably aware of him since the day he was born. Imagine the anger and resentment at having to livie in an orphanage while his father and grandparents lived in luxury. Worst of all, i dare say none of them cared anything about him. They probably thought of him as the garbage that ruined his life. Remember what he told Dumbledore in the orphanage, I can hurt people who are mean to me. Sixteen years of anger, hurt, and rage bubbled up in him and i dare say, he lost control. It's a behavior we see repeated in him a lot.

      @@ashwinsmagicandcardistry , everyone always referred to Merope as Tom Sr's wife, Dumbledore refers to her as "wife", the expression "run off" is a euphemism for got married in hurry, and in the 1920s when this occurred, simply being alone with a man for an extended period of time without a chaperon - the expectation was that you would get married. Plus, it is on the Harry Potter fan site. While it may be argued that legally, coercion is grounds for annulment, it's hard to do with a baby on the way.

      @@ashwinsmagicandcardistry , it's canon, Riddle Sr and Merope were married. Dumbledore mentions it several time in the Half Blood Prince (The House of Gaunt). Riddle Sr. knew no one would believe he was under a love potion, so he couldn't argue that for an annulment. Regardless of how he got there, in the eyes of the law, they were married. Plus, 1920's morality would have insisted Tom remain with his pregnant wife. No respectable family would ever allow their daughter to associate with him afterwards, especially since they knew Merope claimed she was pregnant.

      @@ashwinsmagicandcardistry , i think non-magical and magical law are quite similar in this case. Marriages that take place due to fraud or deception can be annulled, but that doesn't happen "auto-magically". Neither party ever presented themselves before any magistrate and pleaded fraud, so the assumption might have been that both sides were accepting. However, Tom Riddle's life would have been "ruined" ... this was after all, the 1920s. After Tom Sr. was released from the spell he probably handed Merope some money and left her in London. She remained, hoping he would return to her. He on the other hand returned to his village where it was well known he'd been married (for whatever reason). No decent family would have him. I don't think Tom (Voldemort) knew his father or grandparents were alive. He seemed surprised by Morfin's response that "he came back". Imagine that cheery, Riddle family reunion. They would have blamed Tom for ruining their lives, of the marriage that never took place, or the grandchildren that were never born (ignoring the fact that he was their grandchild). Tom was only sixteen, but being told to his face that he wasn't wanted was probably more than he could bear.

But Tom Riddle wanted to use his skills and knowledge in a different way from Harry's. He wanted to learn about The Dark Arts and to use them to destroy all muggles, half-bloods and muggleborns.

    Question : when the Riddle murders first happened, the Muggles of Little Hangleton were all convinced that the gardener, Frank Bryce was guilty of the crime. If I remember right, the police even brought him into custody for questioning, but then he was suddenly released when they could find no physical evidence that the deaths were murders. But everyone still seemed to believe they were murdered. We know that the Ministry of Magic found who they believed to have committed the murders: Morfin Gaunt, who Voldemort had framed. If Muggle Little Hangleton knew about the existence of the Gaunts, which they clearly did, why would they not have noticed that Morfin disappeared right and that time and blamed him? It sounds like Frank Bryce bore the stigma of being a suspected murderer for the rest of his life. I guess the ministry couldn't step up and publish the fact that they'd arrested the (framed) culprit because then they would have had to admit that the Riddles had in fact been murdered and that would lead to more questions that would threaten the Statute of Secrecy. But seeing as Little Hangleton would also have known about Tom Riddle's marriage to Merope Gaunt and his abandonment of her, it shouldn't have been too hard for the town gossips to establish motive for Morfin Gaunt, a lot more motive than Frank Bryce would have had, I'd think. That couped with Gaunt's disappearnce should have appeared suspicious. Unless the Ministry of Magic did step in and erase all memory of the Gaunts from the Muggles of Little Hangleton, which I'd think impractical. Hmm...

No friends, no support, nothing. And he also descends from an incredibly incestuous line, making him especially prone to mental instability/issues. And to make matters worse, he grew up during the era of the great depression and world war 2.

    Tom Riddle Senior was magically enslaved for some time. Voldemort's mom used magic to either control his mind or his emotions. Tom Senior knew magic was real. If Tom Senior had realized Voldemort was the son of the woman who'd enslaved him, he would run for his life.

      Tom Marvolo Riddle was born becouse his mother used a love potion on Tom Riddle senior. He didn't truly love her, and that's why Tom Riddle couldn't feel, give, or even understand love. He couldn't understand the fact that death was a part of life, and thought of himself as superior to all people. That's why he was so determined to live forever, he believed that death could be forever avoided. He wasn't just a little boy with a lot of trauma, he could: "make bad things happen to people who annoy me." And he terrified the orphanage kids. He wanted all muggles, halfbloods and muggleborns dead, destroyed.

      If his mother would have chosen to be there for him, things would have turned out to be completely different. It's even stated in the books. He was never shown love from the very start. There is an African saying that goes like this: it takes a village to raise a child. If the village doesnt show that child warmth, the child will one day burn the village down just to feel its warmth.

She lasted long enough to give her son a life at the cost of her own.Tom should fault no one for his mother's death but his father and Marvolo Gaunt for treating his mother worse than a House Elf.
      As for all the magic Tom could do some dark wizard was teaching him, maybe a Grindelwald operative. He came to Hogwarts a fully practicing dark wizard.

      And let's not forget Merope Gaunt Riddle had already been horribly abused by her brother Morfin and their father Marvolo before Bob Ogden called for backup and both Marvolo and Morfin were arrested and sentenced to Azkaban.
      Merope's magical abilities markedly improved with Marvolo and Morfin in Azkaban, and they faltered when she learned the hard way that Amortentia, the strongest love potion of all, has to be continually administered or the drinker loses interest, as Tom Riddle did when she stopped giving him the Amortentia and he bailed on her and their unborn son.

    Tom was the product of love potion, not true love. His father didn't love his mother, so he's destined to live without love throughout his life. I think not finding any evidence about Riddle in Hogwarts have already upset him. His unsatisfaction rose after hearing his uncle's words, plus he's proud of being the heir of Slytherin. Maybe his father's rudeness leads to his final killing of his father and grandparents
