Third, this is the tough one. In the whole story, it was never made clear why is Voldemort, a half blood supports blood purism? And why would the old families support him, a half blood? In the original story, we never heard Voldemort's side of argument, and here, I will try to piece together his view from the little we know and evaluate his position. This is what I think the crux of problem is, what Voldemort was questioning is this: (I love it how the facts are just embedded in the story itself, you can pull in all the fact and just reason in a different way, you'd see a new line of thinking) Remember Harry found Marauder's Map, there's something ingenious about that map, that almost make it a magical artefact on par with the invisibility cloak. But as we know, the Marauder's Map is invented by Harry's father's group of 4 friends WHILE attending Hogwarts. So here's question, in their times, a group of high school kids can perform the world-class complex Animagus, invent artefacts, and by Harry's time, the smartest person in school is just Hermione? Something went wrong here. People went from being inventive to just being book smart. Hermione did invent the coin for DA, but my point is, have you heard of anyone in the school being a great inventor or having had invented anything throughout the years? The Weasley twins? It's all just hand me downs, the instability cloak and the resurrection stone came from a farfetched myth. The Requirement Room is just something the school is equipped with. How it's built? Who built it? We are so far removed from the creation side of things. And this observation, I believe, is what propels Voldemort to commit genocide on non-pure bloods. The flaw in Voldemort's reasoning is that, on the surface, it does look like blood is the reason behind this decline. But in reality, it could be many reasons which has nothing to do with blood. For one, the education system could be pulling in the wrong person. Because the person with inventive skill does not necessarily look good on paper. Second, it could be just natural fluctuation. Most successful football players' sons cannot play at their dads' level, that's a fact. ................ anyhow, TBC somehow it feels sad to think thru those arguments, it's like the book itself is a social experiment, once again imbedded the ideals of destruction, and once again we didn't notice. We didn't defend them.
