Apparently for 11 years Dumbledore’s been trying to get people to call You-Know-Who by his proper name: Voldemort. Funny, I thought his proper name was Tom Riddle. Ironically I think people would be more OK with saying Tom Riddle than Voldemort, specially if Rita Skeeter would write a sarcastic news article about the self-appointed 'Lord', suggesting he gave himself an impressive title to cover his inferiority complex since his poor, orphaned childhood.
Btw, what’s with the 11 years? What happened 11 years ago in 1970 that that’s considered the beginning of the reign of Voldemort? An interesting question, which I have never heard asked by the fans in JKR's numerous interviews before. I bet she doesn't know herself. Btw, what had D been doing for those 11 years. Seems like a long time to me not to duel with V & try to kill him at least once.
Everyone knows Voldemort’s frightened of Dumbledore? Wonder why. Only Dumbledore’s PR firm knows for sure. I know! Tom had been paying close attention to D's tactics too all those years. D wasn't the only one to watch people.
He basically trusts Hagrid in a similar way that James trusts Peter. A nice comparison! It shows that James & D are both true Griffindors. Snape imo would say such a thing only if he trusted both this person's loyalty & competence.
