On the subject of Lord Voldemort - Oh, shite!

As luck would have it, the members of my dart team read Harry Potter. We had a discussion over beer last night about the Dark Lord, and I've come to this conclusion;

Voldemort is a fucking C-L-O-W-N!

Seriously, I think Lucius Malfoy should shove his incompetent arse to the side. I could really love the character of Lord Voldemort, but I don't like how he's continuously made to look the fool. Harry Potter foils him every single fucking time. Isn't he supposed to be the 'Dark Wizard of a generation?' He's the fucking KMART of evil, I swear. He doesn't even warrant a fucking Super KMART.

Snape betrays him, and no revenge is carried out?

His elitism revolves around 'purebloodedness' (<---is this a word?), and the fucker is a HALFBLOOD himself. Where the fuck is his defense for this?

And why doesn't he just inhabit the body of a woman for his host? I mean, c'mon, a woman would never fuck up this many times :P

I know I'm not the only one that thinks Voldemort is kind of a pussy.

So all of you writers of Voldemort, come and defend your Dark Lord.

Well, canon Voldemort is an incompetent pussy who usually only succeeds through dumb luck or due to Harry's hot-headedness. Still, he lets himself be tricked by children (as does Lucius) again and again.

I've always seen his being a halfblood to be ironic on JKR's part - sort of like that legend (which may or may not be true, but it sounds apocryphal) that Hitler had a Jewish grandmother.

That is entirely possible. JKR does tend to play up irony with her characterizations.
