And we also see that pretty much of his victims deserved it. Good think Slughorn didn't see this--that Hepzibah woman is another fat old lady with a house full of knicknacks. Not only that. She fancies herself attractive. She dyes her hair. She dresses in pink. Maybe she ever has sexual desires when she is no longer fertile.
It certainly makes more sense than Voldemort just dying to be a teacher, which these books alone prove is an incredibly thankless job. And props to Dumbledore for maybe never telling anybody what they're getting into. That's because they deserved it, no doubt. At the end of CoS, we find that Dumbledore knew of Lockhart's way to obliviate Wizards to steal their achievements, and that he finds funny that now he is the one with a permanent brain damage. “Dear me,” said Dumbledore, shaking his head, his long silver moustache quivering. “Impaled upon your own sword, Gilderoy!”. He could be almost in tears, mind you.
2) Tom is starting to look pretty rough around the edges. Not that this in any way indicates a moral element to good looks! Of course not. He was a bad one even when he was pretty! One must wait and see if the good looks waste away.
