Lord Voldemort

Quote 1

"I regret it," said Voldemort coldly.

He turned away; there was no sadness in him, no remorse. It was time to leave this shack and take charge, with a wand that would now do his full bidding… Voldemort swept from the room without a backward glance… (32.121)

Voldemort's true depths of evil are really revealed by his callous murder of Snape, who he thought was his faithful servant all these years. He truly has progressed beyond "the usual evil" – he's past all human feeling.

"Ron, we're the only ones who can end it! Please – Ron – we need the snake, we've got to kill the snake!" said Hermione.

But Harry knew how Ron felt: Pursuing another Horcrux could not bring the satisfaction of revenge; he too wanted to fight, to punish them, the people who had killed Fred, and he wanted find the other Weasleys, and above all make sure, make quite sure that Ginny was not – but he could not permit that idea to form in his mind – .

"We will fight!" Hermione said. "We'll have to, to reach the snake! But let's not lose sight now of what we're supposed to be d-doing! We're the only ones who can end it!" (32.14-16)

Again, in a time of desperation, Hermione's the only one who keeps the group on track – despite all of their grief over Fred, she reminds her friends that they must keep going, and that the end is finally in sight – if they can only get there!
