>>213818903 (OP)What people dont remember (because we got a Skoot Fagander/Gay Dumbledore trilogy instead of a Voldemort origin story) is that Tom Riddle was growing up and attending Hovwarts right in the middle of WW2. He inevitably witnesses and survives the Londen Blitz from the muggle perspective WHILE being aware that the Wizard status quo is sitting safely and invisibly in a castle far away and ignoring the muggle war machine that is blowing up his life outside of Hogwarts.
We may have had this discussion before tv anons. What Dumblefore doesnt want anyone to know is that the Death Eaters began as an anti-fascist group and was supported by more than just Slytherin radicals before eventually splitting into a wizard-supremecy group and being memory holed by those like Dumbledore that fostered and supported it JUST LIKE Harry's DA later on. Harry is Dumbledore's second attempt at forging a main character and he stays hand off with him BECAUSE he caused Riddle's path, even if inadvertently.
