Lord Voldemort, also known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, is the incarnate of evil and sworn enemy of Harry Potter. He is feared so much in the wizarding world that he is simply known as 'You-Know-Who' or 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named'. At first, his killing of Harry's parents and attempt on Harry's life seemed to be like all the other murders he committed, but as the series wears on, it is learned that his attack on the Potters was motivated through a prophecy that proclaimed Harry to be the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord (Voldemort). He has attempted to kill Harry in every part of the series except parts three and six (the present day Voldemort does not appear in these entries; his sixteen year old form attempts to kill Harry in the second chapter). He is fueled by evil and possesses a mutilated soul - literally. He has a group of followers called Death Eaters who consider themselves his friends, though Lord Voldemort is emotionless beyond those of hate and anger. He is extremely arrogant and thrives on fear, however, he uses extreme caution developing his plans, and is very secretive. He is extremely similar to Adolf Hitler: both men believe in a pure race, however, neither one was a member of that race themselves. Both men killed thousands (in Hitler's case, much more), calling it "purification". Both men were at first lauded by those around them (Tom Riddle was tipped to become Minister of Magic, Hitler was well liked globally before his war crimes), then feared for their unwavering cruelty.
