I so hate quoting from the book. So much filler to go through.

HBP - American version - Chapter 17, page 361-362.

Dumbledore talking to Harry about young Riddle at school.

"This group had a kind of dark glamour within the castle. They were a motley collection; a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking some shared glory, and the thuggish gravitating toward a leader who could show them more refined forms of cruelty."

Even though Riddle never felt any affection for them, it's painfully clear that he used their wants to his advantage. He could easily offer them all that they sought. This has nothing whatsoever to do with his morals or lack of them and everything to do with who gravitated toward him.

You have examples of Snape acting protectively toward others while he was in school? Now this I have to see!
