** Book 2 reveals that he's this to his ''Horcruxes'', as the soul fragment inside his diary (which was only ever meant to be a weapon) reveals that it hates being stuck in there but can't do anything about it other than fulfill its designed purpose.

* {{Foil}}: To Harry Harry, Bart ''and'' Bart.Gemma.


Added DiffLines:

** Like Gemma, he is an ambitious, aggressive, intelligent and knowledgeable CombatPragmatist who does what's necessary to win. Both will also happily control and manipulative others to achieve their goals. Both are also treated with some suspicion by Dumbledore. The difference is that Gemma cares about [[TheApprentice Bart]] and her family, whereas Voldemort cares for nobody but himself. Gemma will also cooperate with people she normally distrusts should they face a common threat, whereas Voldemort is too distrusting to truly cooperate with anyone.

* TheApprentice: To Gemma.



* TheMentor: In Book 2, he teaches Harry various spells so the Gryffindor can defend himself.



* TheApprentice: To her father, although she doesn't normally need his help anymore.



* {{Foil}}: To Voldemort. Both are aggressive, ambitious, controlling, knowledgeable, intelligent, manipulative, studious and excellent duellists. Both are, or were, held in high regard by the Hogwarts Staff. Dumbledore is also at least somewhat wary of both. [[NotSoDifferentRemark Voldemort and Gemma even recognise their similarities in the Chamber of Secrets.]] The difference is that Gemma genuinely cares about her people ([[TheApprentice Bart]], her family), whereas Voldemort cares for nobody but himself and sees his followers as disposable. Gemma can also cooperate with others, including people she normally distrusts, against a common threat. Conversely, Voldemort is too distrusting to truly cooperate with anyone. Even his followers are usually driven by fear, not loyalty.
* ItRunsInTheFamily: She's the latest in a long line of accomplished duellists.



* [[LikeFatherLikeSon Like Father, Like Daughter]]: Like her father, she's smart, knowledgeable, manipulative and an excellent duellist. She also mentors Bart, just as her father mentors her.



* ManipulativeBitch: She has Bart wrapped around her finger. In particular, she feeds him a few half-truths to get him not to trust Dumbledore.

* ManipulativeBastard: He's spent most of his life using people to advance his own agendas.
* TheMentor: He's spent much of Gemma's life teaching her to fly, duel, and ingratiate herself to people. He also corrects Bart's duelling technique in class.
