4 22 tue = LV "further than anybody" with multiple Horcruxes Being so careless with one Horcrux, AD surmised that LV had made several.

4 22 tue = LV not aware of loss of Horcruxes LV aparantly not aware of loss of Horcruxes (except diary for which his wrath was mighty to behold on Lucius Malfoy).

4 22 tue = AD discussed the Prophecy at length Prophecy only fulfilled because LV and Harry "chose" to do so. LV "chose" and "marked" Harry as his equal and, doing do, GAVE Harry the power "he knows not"- LOVE; and MADE him the person most dangerous to him. LV has never known LOVE. 6 309
4 22 tue = AD agitated when HP didn't understand "his powers" Agitated, AD said "you must understand this." It's LVs fault that: you can see into his thoughts, understand parceltongue, never seduced by Dark Arts (because of his ability to love), had protection at Dursley's; and, he cannot posses you without agony. 6 310
4 22 tue = Typical Tyrant, LV fears his victims of oppression Like tyrants everywhere, LV fears his victims knowing that, one day, there is sure to be one who strikes back. That's why he acted on prophecy- making you desirous of "rising up" even without the prophecy. 6 310

Because LV made him desire to and because LV believed it and would keep trying to kill Harry. The difference between being dragged into the arena and going voluntarily. 6 512
