@kingjohnrocks:
What the quotes say are what the quotes say.
And the quotes agree with me. You can't bring up one quote of voldemort telepathically doing anything serious.
What..?
1. I will need to look into the goblet of fire to get full context, because this thing makes no assertion about people being tortured magically by Voldemort, not even to the point of death.
Hmm. I thought I wouldn't need to explain neville's history to you. His parents were driven insane by some death eaters.
3. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH VOLDEMORT, nor his methods, nor his abilities. I',m sorry my friend, but you're literally grasping at straws.
What? Did you even read part 6? It was voldemort's own potion, he used it on kreacher.
Snape does NOT mention potions. You're speculating and grasping at straws.
Snape doesn't mention 'telepathy'. What he mentions is one spell, which doesn't do any of the things mentioned.
Basically, what snape is saying is, 'he can invade the minds of his victims, create visions, torture them to madness, and control them'.
Yep. That sounds very, very clear to me. I take that literally.
Good for you. Problem is, the book shows he can use potions and prep to do it. You're saying he can do it without any of them.
I'll choose the writer's opinion over yours, thank you.
If it has been stated that he can do it/has done it, then it's a feat.
No one's saying he can't do it. Problem is the method.
What I'm saying is, he can do that using various means, like spells and potions. Can I provide evidence backing it up? Yes.
But you can provide nothing related DIRECTLY, DIRECTLY to Voldemort, his powers, or his magical abilities.
And you're providing.. what? Zip.
I provided three instances.
Crucio- used by voldemort. In character.
The potion - used by voldemort. In character.
Impero - used by voldemort. In character.
So either you show me voldemort telepathically doing the things snape mentioned, or accept this is how the book has shown he does.
There is absolutely nothing saying voldemort is a telepath. Sure, he has some spells, or methods that can achieve similar effects, but the book doesn't say anything about telepathic abilities.
