>>83807508Its worth noting that this is an important plot point, because Rowling explained that Voldemort is a sociopath because he was literally conceived without actual love and with the effects that ten years of being in a constant state of being drugged had on his father's sperm (not in those words, mind you).
>>83813520>>83812926Two things to note:
1) The Wizard world is supposed to be highly fucked up. Most of the planet cannot be mapped out and just has to be stumbled on, hopefully it isn't a bottomless pit someone made for lulz, and children can accidentally blow things up or turn things into other things (like a stuffed animal into a GIANT CAT-SIZED FUCKING LIVING SPIDER). That's not even getting into the fact that dragons are wild animals that sometimes go on rampages, and experimenting in magic with differences in gesture or language can turn you inside out like Luna's mother, which gets even worse when you remember that Wizards can learn to cast magic without saying a word or making a single motion and even do some things without wands (as Rowling confirmed they are a focuser and an enhancer, but magic can be done dangerously without them). So its not exactly that far-fetched that it's considered trival considering the random fucking shit that can happen to you on a daily basis (just remember the hospital scene in the fourth book, all the crazy shit that happened to people in the waiting room).
2) The difference between those potions and the one Voldemort's mother brewed is hers were ultra strength, and she spent about a decade with him constantly on them. Like the difference between wine at the table in France and drinking bathtub moonshine 24/7.
