But if someone talked trash about MY mother – let alone accused her of being a thief! – my eyes would be flashing scarlet too! Why shouldn't Riddle be pissed off?
Perhaps I'm wrong, but isn't Riddle ashamed of his mother? I mean, he thinks she's a muggle and to him, muggles are useless and weak.
It's likely Tom DID hex the DADA position. Does that mean he really wanted that teaching gig? What if he was thinking more strategically? DADA is a crucial magical skill; if Hogwarts can't keep a DADA teacher, it can't keep up a consistent curriculum for the subject. This means the students don't learn the subject properly, and would be more vulnerable in later life to the effects of the Dark Arts.
Wow. I have never thought of that before! You are definitely onto something. :)
