it's pretty strongly implied but dude was a big troll and needed Harry to like him to get him to go along with his plan. the whole thing is from Harry's perspective so really it's speculation
In the books iirc he needed the bathroom and was walking by the room of requirement and it became one. It's been a while since I've read them though so I dunno.
Yeah that sounds right. I was gonna say he needed a room to think in or to avoid someone. But he knows about it anyway.

he knows about the room of requirement but not the room where things are hidden
The ghost tells him and would have told Dumbledore too.
the ghost tells him that the diadem was in a forest in albania. harry could see voldemort thinking about the cave, the house, and hogwarts. and he reasoned that voldemort put the diadem in the room where things are hidden when he had gone to ask dumbledore for a job in defense against dark arts

Dumbledore knew of the room of requirement and that there's most definitely a room to hide things in. He knew that the horcrux was the diadem, Harry learns that from Dumbledores own memories.

He definitely surmised the room of requirement has a room to hide shit. He also knew that the horcruxes were founder items. He also could have used Harry to mind read Voldemort just like he actually did to figure out it's in the castle.
nope. dumbledore needed him AND felt responsible for him to a degree. he had no real admiration or adoration for harry.
All of the shit in the books is tainted with harry's POV on things, and albus is one of the biggest benificiaries of the rose tinted glasses harry puts on about magic shit
everything prior to Voldemort's demise is part of his scheme, even if unintended he's still manipulating. he needed Harry to leave purgatory to finish Voldemort off
In the books he cried as a portrait when Harry defeated Voldemort. Although the ending of Harry Potter was such a gigantic farce that it doesn’t really matter anyway. Rowling didn’t have it in her to recontextualise Dumbledore as a cunning and manipulative anti-hero who grooms Harry and puts kids in danger for the greater good. Harry Potter fans like to portray him as that but it really isn’t the case.
He needed Harry to lure out Voldemort cause he knew he would be obsessed with killing Harry himself.
Why he didn’t deal with Voldemort before he came a pseudo-immortal Wizard Hitler that started a civil war is the real question. Especially since he wasn’t even the first evil wizard he’s had to deal with.
Yes, don't listen to the midwits.
But this was a man who was forced to duel his best bud and childhood friend, he can cherish someone and lead them to their death for the greater good.
It was meant to be about his upbringing, not genetics. The poor woman was a pureblood (albeit a squib IIRC) while the man was a muggle; her side being the inferior family despite being purebloods was probably supposed to be a point against Voldemort's pureblood philosophy within the story and against racism IRL. Feelings of inferiority about the nature of his parents and growing up in an orphanage were meant to be the source of his physchological issues anyway.
Snobby purebloods always wanted to get rid of everyone else, Voldemort was just the first one that finally had the balls to try and do it and they all went along with it.
good talent doesnt grow on trees you know. in operation paperclip, usa tok all nazi scientist, brought them to the united states, gave them and their families free homes, cars, medical, vacations, scholarship for children etc just so they would continue research, but for uncle sam this time. it was after that that USA became undisputed number 1 when it comes to aerospace engineering. military technology in particular
who better to teach defense against the dark arts than the people who actually used dark arts
Was it ever established that he liked Harry Potter in the first place?

>troll
stop.
huh?
Is a sexual way?
the better question is that if he didn't get Voldemort's curse would he have personally killed Harry after finishing off the rest of the horcruxes?
Dumbledore would not have found the horcrux hidden at hogwarts because he didn't know about the room where things are hidden
The ghost tells him and would have told Dumbledore too.
Pretty sure he mentions it at some point?

he called Harry "my dear sweet beautiful boy" when Harry met him in purgatory in the last book

that was all a magic-infused hallucination my guy

>1 POINT FOR SLYTHERIN FOR EVERY israelite THAT DIED IN THE HOLOCAUST
what made voldemort such a bad dude that so many people were willing to follow anyway
hes just half-assed hitler allegory. there isn't much too it
So was Grindelwald. Rowling is completely unimaginative.
grindelwald was hitler (defeated in 1945). voldemort was nu-hitler
>nu-hitler
>is a skinhead
bravo rowling
umm sweaty, voldemort is drumpf
what's bizarre is she used dysgenics to explain why he was evil. because he was the son of a poor retarded woman and a rapist or something
it's like liberals explaining Hitler was evil because his blood was impure

his mother used a love potion on his father and he was conceived that way which is why he's incapable of love. just some magical bullshit.
is this why i am incapable of love because im a rape baby
>bizarre
There's an entire quarter of the student body that's labeled "villain until proven otherwise".
Snobby purebloods always wanted to get rid of everyone else, Voldemort was just the first one that finally had the balls to try and do it and they all went along with it.
He was the strongest wizard and people wanted to be on the winning side.
what made him the strongest?
>wizard supremacist
attracts like minded wizards
>powerful
attracts power hungry wizards
>ruthless
attracts violent wizards and dark creatures
Add to that his natural charisma and manipulative nature.
snape is the only one he hired on purpose and he hired barty crouch jr. by accident
YOU SEE....CEDRIC DIGGORY WAS MURDERED.....BY NON OTHER THAN HARRY POT- I MEAN VOLDEMORT

theres a big step between hiring scientists to be scientists and rapists to teach sex ed
the gay homosexual groomed the abused orphan
The whole idea was to hasten the return of Voldemort and kill him for good while Hogwarts was at its peak power level.
you can't refute this btw and it's laid out several times. my sources are all the books
What actions were taken to hasten his return? If that were the case he would have let homie have the philosophers stone
because it's a shit-tier book series for pre-schoolers that people want to pretend is for teenagers.
