I guess that's where the whole "Voldemort is a spirit looking for a body" theory from the Changeling makes more sense. And so whatever soul inhabited Tom somehow got mixed up with Harry and yadda yadda yadda... oy... confused. Anyone care to shed light? I guess I need to re-read COS, but even then, the whole Tom/Voldy relationship still didn't clear up much.

I always took the 3 people dying to mean Tom R died metaphorically speaking. Tom was so upset that he ended one persona to become Voldemort. A conscienous change in the direction of who he would present to the rest of the world.
