27%% * EnigmaticMinion: Mordred.
28* EvenEvilHasStandards: Tom is ''disgusted'' by Vernon Dursley. Also OriginalCharacter Lethfyren Malfoy, a Mind Healer of shady repute that Voldemort hires (and who Tom calls "a monster"), will NOT [[WouldntHurtAChild "do kids."]] Voldemort himself is strongly against his followers abusing their children, though he seemingly has no problems killing them, since he was quite happy to kill at least two children before the events of the story. But then, Voldie has a soft spot in his cold black heart for [[MoralMyopia wizarding children - not Muggle children.]]

34* FreudianExcuse: Harry's abuse at the hands of the Dursleys is most definitely NOT PlayedForLaughs. Also [[spoiler: Draco is regularly tortured by his father with the Cruciatus Curse.]] And [[spoiler: Tom had a [[BreakTheCutie psychotic break]] when the other kids [[OrphanageOfFear at the orphanage]] killed his baby snake in front of him.]]

38* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Vernon quickly learns that baby Harry heals very fast, and so takes the opportunity to beat him even more.
39* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: After Voldemort tasks Harry and Tom with running distraction duty at Hogwarts by setting the Basilisk loose on the student body, they had originally picked the Muggle-born Hermione Granger to be one of their first victims, but after a week of stalking Hermione, Harry and Tom realize how ''brilliant'' she is and [[YouWillBeSpared decide to choose a different target.]] When Harry and Tom give their report at the next Death Eater meeting and explain why they switched targets, this even gets ''Voldemort'' thinking that maybe he was wrong about Muggle-borns.]]

47%% * LimaSyndrome: Tom for Harry.
48* LivingWithTheVillain: Dark!Harry attends Hogwarts with the Light wizards and spies for Voldemort. It helps that no one wants to believe that the Boy-who-Lived could go dark.

67%% * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler: Sirius to Harry and Draco]].
68* RedEyesTakeWarning: Harry gets red glowing eyes when Tom takes control.
69%% * RightHandCat: Harry's cat, [[WeNamedTheMonkeyJack Minerva]].
70* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: Tom Riddle's war against the Muggle world really started when he was a child and a posse of Muggle girls killed his snake.]]

79* StalkingIsLove: After receiving gifts from his anonymous suitor, Ron feels comforted that at least ''someone'' out there likes him.
80* StartOfDarkness: [[spoiler: Tom's is the bullying he endured at the orphanage, and the final straw is when they killed his pet snake, Harry's is the horrific abuse he suffered at the hands of the Dursleys.]]
81* StockholmSyndrome: From the offset, Tom is completely honest that he killed Harry's real parents. He still becomes Harry's father figure and OnlyFriend.
82%% * SymbioticPossession: Harry with Tom.
83%% * SuperPoweredEvilSide: Tom for Harry.
84* TautologicalTemplar: As far as Dumbledore is concerned, he's good and therefore all his actions are good by default. [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity All the "light families" are inherently good and all "dark families" are the cause of all problems]] and if a member of a "dark family" happens to be a victim [[{{UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming}} they must have deserved it.]]
85* ThenLetMeBeEvil: The Dursleys always told Harry he was a freak and a monster. Harry figures he might as well live up to his reputation.
86%% * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler: Sirius Black.]]
87* TrainingFromHell: Harry when Tom is teaching him magic. Later subverted, when [[spoiler: Lucius claims that he tortures Draco in order to make him strong [[CureYourGays and teach him how to be a man]].

94* WhosLaughingNow: With Tom's help, Harry truly gives the Dursleys a reason to fear him.
95* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Harry -- the severe abuse he receives from the Dursleys (along with the goading from the Tom Riddle Horcrux in his head) pushes him over the edge. Also Tom Riddle / Voldemort is one because it's implied he had a psychotic break, back when he was a boy attending an OrphanageOfFear, when a girl posse killed his baby snake [[WholePlotReference in front of him]] [[JustForFun/XMeetsY ala]] ''Manga/ElfenLied''.
96* WorthyOpponent: Hermione to Harry and Tom, [[UnknownRival though they never actually fought and she never actually met them]].
