"Forbidden to teach at Hogwarts". Sounds more like school rule, like "don't bring your broomstic if you are a first year student" or "don't walk around school at night". They can't punish adult, who uses these kind of spells do they?(unless he uses it to harm someone else)

Ah but Hogwarts is the only school in the entire British wizarding world. If it is forbidden there there is a good chance it is illegal to use once one has graduated.

Yes, they can, in England at least. That was the whole "confiscating dark artefacts" thing. Now, spells might be different, but I doubt it.

Wasn't it labeled "the best" rather then "the only"?

Need I remind you of the purpose of the horcrux. The tethering of one's soul to the earthly world so that it will survive the destruction of the physical self. What greater self-preservation can there be than immortality, the very act of thwarting death.

YOU WANTED TO MAKE SEVEN OF THOUSE! SEVEN!!! IT WASN'T EVEN TESTED BEFORE!

What's wrong with killing people...? [/Tom Riddle]

It's not like Tom had any use for those other people. Sociopath remember.

How pathetically compassionate of you. This is why I will become the greatest sorcerer to ever live, for I am not bound by such weaknesses.
Compassion isn't even a factor -- self-interest is. Do you have any idea how many pureblood wizards you were responsible for killing? The fewer there are, the more inbred they will become, and the more they will need to interbreed with muggles. Not only that, but with fewer wizards, there will be less goods and services available to you from wizarding society. You plan to be immortal, do you want your immortal life to be spent surrounded by steadily more inbred wizards? With people who become more stupid and weak with every passing generation?

You can be a sociopath and still find use in people, and still have good reasons not to kill people that aren't rooted in fear of punishment.

It simply requires intelligence to accompany your sociopathy, enough intelligence to examine the second and third order consequences of your actions.

But Lord Voldemort was an idiot who was defeated five times by a child.

While you have a point in general the seven deaths made for Horcrux creation are insignificant in the Grand scheme of things. For that matter there is no reason for them to necessarily be wizards.
 
Lord Voldemort is not afraid to push the boundaries of magic farther than they have ever been pushed.

Using one's self as a lab rat on the other hand is no the best idea as one might be incapable of stopping or reversing the experiment due to damage incurred.
^this

You could've at least use the Wormtail. Forced him to make a couple. That would've got you immortal minion, completely loyal to you to boot(you have his soul in your pocket. Literally.) And you could've observe consequences of creating more than one horcrux...

Actually he only wanted six. Then his Soul would be in Seven Parts. And Seven is apparently a magical number. So it should have been safer.

But Voldy fucked up so now its in eight pieces and he doesn't know better.

If one is unwilling to push the boundaries, then one will always have a limit. Lord Voldemort has no such limits.

You presume much, muggle. You are simple-minded. Unseeing. Magical Britain is but one part of a whole. There is a whole world for Lord Voldemort to rule over.

...And I have been defeated by no-one. You speak nonsense.
 
Wormtail is too young though the idea is sound.

Initially I wanted to suggest Abraxas Malfoy, but I kinda nervous to give gift of immortality to someone who is skilled politician from ancient family... Might backfire reeeeally hard.

Edit: Did Abraxas even was the DE? Or is this fanon? Can't remember, honestly...

I'm trying to remember... Did you grow up during the Blitz?

It's a good thing you have other voices in your head as well in this quest.:whistle:

Several of the Horcruxes were made using muggles.

Hey, who're you calling a muggle? I'm less of a muggle than you are. Both of my parents were magic. A lot of magic. Like, level-entire-cities-on-accident magic.
 
At this point in time, without knowing about his family, wouldn't Tom think (or, at least, wouldn't other people think) that he was a muggleborn? I mean, he was found in a muggle orphanage, and his mother didn't seem to be a wizard, and if you looked up his father, you would find that he was a muggle.

I speak the language of the snakes and have discovered my birthright; Salazar's chamber and the basilisk that dwells within it. All in Slytherin know not to be fooled by the muggle surname I was burdened with.
