*behests the burning bushels of bud* It is Sunday... it's time for Harry Potter! Why? God feels the need to establish himself as a greater being of creation by comparison to what so many others... wait, is God getting into a pissing contest with J.K. Rowling? Am I being used as a literary weapon of mass magnificence? Okay, well... I'm like the wretch who writes for God, so uh, I guess I have to be able to write better than J.K. Rowling since she's considered so good... for "reasons"... movies, mostly. Very expensive ones. Okay, so... better than Harry Potter... oh, you know the character Nagini? She had this friend, in the magic freak circus, her name was Merope Gaunt and she had a specialty! In making love potions! She gave one to Nagini who used it on Credence Barebone and got him to impregnate her. Of course, she was going to turn into a snake, and uh... did... before giving birth. That's why her venom can be used to sustain Voldemort, because Nagini is his mother and his father is Credence Barebone. The reason Nagini wanted him and wanted a baby with him, was to break the blood curse. You see, she knew that his obscurial trait could be passed on, in theory, as a blood curse, or rather mixed blood curse. Most obscurials don't survive being tortured into one, most die as children. Credence was the rare exception and as an adult he could pass his power on, but only with those who have the Maledictus blood curse. That's why Voldemort is snake-like, because it doesn't quite prevent the blood curse from taking effect. To be more precise the part of Voldemort that is "living" can best be described as an internal biomagical storm ripping through what's left of his body. What we see as Voldemort is more like an empty husk, a skin suit of what's left of his original biology. You can think of it as being like a snake that never quite sheds its skin or rather it uses its own shedded biology as a skin suit to hide the magical snake-like storm structure that resides within. A kind of living blood entity animating a dead corpse that was shed behind, but still used like a puppet. This gets worse! Merope Gaunt is also the one that provided the love potion enchantment Dumbledore isn't the father of Credence, he's not the grandfather of Voldemort. The real father of Credence is Corvus Lestrange IV and a younger Merope Gaunt, except Corvus never knew. Corvus had magical family history that enabled magical mental manipulation and Gaunt had a magical family history of chemical mental manipulation. The reason she wanted a child from him, was so that her child would have his innate blood magic. You see, what J.K. Rowling doesn't talk about is the fact that "pure bloods" in Harry Potter really are "better" than most other magical users because they hone their magic through family upbringing, training one generation after another and in turn refining specific magical arts and techniques which give them distinct advantages over others. It's like they selectively breed as a means maximizing their magical power in the wizarding world. It's not just for show, it really means something and, of course, being that there is a dark wizarding world, of course there is a lot of baby theft and illicit baby making. That's why the boat sank! Because someone found out that she had his kid and they wanted the kid dead and thought they got exactly that, but nope, he survived as a result of getting switched about and the other magical bastard child died. That's the truly horrific irony, he had two children, both created from magical manipulation, but he sought to kill the one he didn't choose to make, only to wind up actually killing the one he did choose to make while saving the one he didn't. And Dumbledore was never anyone's father. Remember, he's gay! He just felt sorry for Credence and wanted to be a father figure because he had a soft spot for magical hard cases, because he was one himself, having lost his sister and blaming himself. Dumbledore tortured himself as a child, a magical child and became an obscurial in the process. Self-made! That's why he seeks out potential obscurials and why he loves Hogwarts; so he can provide tortured magic kids a place where they can feel loved. The really dark truth is that Dumbledore created Harry Potter on purpose, as a partial obscurial, that's why he placed him in an abusive home, knowing it would give him power. He had the magic scienced out by then, his particular family lineage was basically experimenting with obscurial states as a means to achieve higher magical abilities. That's why Harry Potter is considered to be "the chosen one", because he wasn't an obscurial accident, but intent! Chosen to be. His mother essentially scared him with her emotions of love, so even when abused, he would never lose hope. That's the real reason avada kedavra sometimes fails, because that curse can't kill someone who feels truly loved, it can only give them a nosebleed, or a scar.
