"
There is a room in the  Department of Mysteriesthat is kept locked at all times. It  contains a force that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death,than human intelligence, than the forces of nature. It is also, perhaps, the most mysterious of the many subjects for study that reside there. It is the power held within that room that you possess in such quantities and whichVoldemort  has not  at all.
" — Albus DumbledoretoHarry Potter about love
[src]

well, it was good and touching!! really , though i am a big hp maniac so everything related to it touches me. it was really well arranged and you have a good understanding of stuffs of hp franchise! and yes, i want to add that since Lord Voldemort was born not as a result of natural love but because of artificial (as Merope Gaunt i.e. Voldemort's mother used love potion to make Tom Riddle i.e. Voldemort's father to fall in love with her), thats why Voldemort never had even a drop of love in him which was the cause of his end as inspite of Lily's protection, he chose not to have any remorse, because there was 'lack' of love in him!!
