Rubeus Hagrid

As I analyzed how Voldemort and his servants exemplified love and loyalty, I saw how they had strong love and loyalty but it was self-centered. Selfishness and fear were the main motivations of Voldemort for bringing about his plan of getting rid of Muggle-born wizards and taking control of the wizard government or destroying it if refused to comply with his vision.

There was a prophecy that referred to himself and one who would stand against him and that neither one could live while the other survived. Voldemort believed that it was Harry Potter who would stand against him and he went to kill Harry as a baby so the prophecy would be fulfilled in his favor and he would rid himself of his enemy. This action showed how Voldemort was loyal to his fears and…
