But on the other hand, I like to think that he is indeed a fairly cool evil mastermind once he gets his stride, not to be tripped up but emotion. In the actual books, we see him struggling up from nothing, but in the early 80s he had everything going for him.

Well, Voldemort *was* a fairly effective mastermind in the late 70's, but I think a decade of being disembodied has made him lose his grip.

What he needs now is a review of the Evil Overlord List (http://www.eviloverlord.com/lists/overlord.html), especially the points about "I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them" and "One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation."
