I’ve been working with the idea that Quirrell is a high functioning psychopath, who often believe that other people are also “faking it”.
That seems like a really obvious descriptor of Voldemort.
Or maybe Voldemort is pretending to be a psychopath. pretending to be a cynic who uses masks.
In the fact of pretending to be anything he becomes someone who uses masks, so that has to be his first level of identity even if it gets duplicated further up. He could, I suppose, secretly be an idealist who uses masks, but that seems unlikely.
I figured a psychopath could pretend to have the emotion of fear and hurt, which a mask using cynic would retain.
