Well if Voldemort takes over England I'm still safe in the USA.
Before we shun Lord Voldemort for being a deranged, evil sorcerer, we must consider his background and then make an informed decision on how the trial should proceed. It is without question that Voldemort occupied professor Quinsley’s body and tried to kill Harry Potter, but we cannot just sentence him to death without considering his rough childhood background.
Voldemort’s mother died just after giving birth, living only long enough to give him his name. Voldemort, having no mother, was fearful and therefore was not an easy child to take care of. He very well may also have had Attention Deficit Disorder as well. His father disowned him at the age of four and Voldemort grew up with strangers in an orphanage, never knowing his mother, and only knowing his father through memories of rejection.
Now, I ask anyone who still thinks that Voldemort shouldn’t be pardoned from this atrocity, “How can someone who lived through such trauma, be expected to grow up like any other person of normal stature as if nothing was ever wrong?” We cannot be so cold-hearted as to punish Voldemort for what he has done, since his actions were a product of his neglect as a child, which was entirely out of his control. Voldemort, having grown up with a feeling of being powerless and weak through out his childhood, merely wanted to experience some sense of having control in the only way he knew how. Voldemort is a human being like any of us. Let us not be barbaric savages. Spare Voldemort the death penalty, and pardon his actions!
