On Lord Voldemort as a psychopath or sociopath “There are psychologists who would argue there's really no difference, and in fact, if you consult the diagnostic manual, it would really lump them under one category, antisocial personality disorder.
From that, we learned that Tom exhibited psychopathic, antisocial, and (malignant) narcissistic traits in early childhood. It is worth exploring these tidbits about Tom Riddle and how they contributed to him becoming Lord Voldemort (not to be confused with “going Full Voldemort”).
Harry's fear of Dementors is deeply significant. Dementors are a metaphor for the deep, inescapable spiral of depression and hopelessness. Harry fears losing every happy memory and being left with only the worst parts of himself — loss, death, and sorrow.
Actress Helena Bonham Carter stated that Bellatrix suffers from a sadistic personality disorder. However SPD is no longer recognised as a valid mental disorder by the DSM so were she a real person (and alive) it is more likely that Bellatrix would be diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder.

Like a lot of us who live with anxiety (hands and wands held high right here), Ron Weasley always seems to be on edge, bracing for the next shoe to drop so as not to be taken by surprise — especially by the things he fears most.
What do Harry Potter and Hamlet have in common? The classic fictional characters are both believed to have borderline personality disorder (BPD). This mental illness is often mistaken for bipolar disorder or depression, because of the similarities in their symptoms.
Severus Snape, on the other hand, deals with depression and grief. Being bullied as a child and the loss of his lady-love naturally make his life miserable.
Key points. Professor Remus Lupin's lycanthropy is an apt metaphor for bipolar disorder. Both conditions involve cyclical episodes, triggers, and physical transformations involving both body and mind. In both conditions, the severity of episodes can be lessened with medicine.
Draco Malfoy probably has some mild PTSD by the end of the series, and perhaps he's a bit narcissistic, but I wouldn't say that there is anything severely wrong with him.
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder is not a joke. Ginny was abused, possessed, and nearly killed—and that kind of trauma doesn't just evaporate into thin air.
Schizoid Pervasive pattern of detachment from social relationships and a restricted range of emotional experience and expression. Severus Snape shows little concern or interest in romantic or personal relationship.
Emma Watson, Actress
She was also diagnosed with combined/hyperactive type ADHD. While Emma hasn't spoken openly about the condition, ADHD Foundation said in a Facebook post that she had been diagnosed and medicated since childhood while filming the Harry Potter series.
People with OCD often tend to be perfectionists, which Hermione appears to be. Her fear of being imperfect, of making a mistake, of getting into trouble, or not doing well academically makes her extremely anxious.
By the time he was Lord Voldemort (despite what I said earlier about the graveyard scene), Tom Riddle had become fully and completely asexual. The Death Eaters are characters featured in the Harry Potter series of novels and films. such as Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, and Peter Pettigrew had appeared in.
I think this could be said of many INTJs, but in short, Riddle would likely be attracted to someone with both intelligence and power. We see this in the books, somewhat, with his association with Bellatrix Lestrange.
After much speculation, J.K. Rowling, author of Harry Potter, revealed that Voldemort's greatest fear is " ignominious death," and that his boggart would be his own corpse. What Voldemort desires most is to be all-powerful and to live forever – which is what he would see if he were ever to look in the Mirror of Erised.
Actor Tom Felton had his naturally brown hair dyed on a weekly basis to maintain Draco's white-silver locks while shooting. Only in one film, out of the whole series, did he opt for wearing a wig.

In this game, it becomes clear that Draco Malfoy's Boggart is Lord Voldemort. Draco's fear of Voldemort likely comes from different reasons than others have. Most fear Voldemort taking over the world. Draco fears Voldemort intimidating and manipulating the Malfoy family.

In his fifth year, Lupin was made a prefect, although he had trouble disciplining James and Sirius. He did not become Head Boy, however.
Remus Lupin is the first adult mentor to truly connect with Harry Potter. He was a great friend at times but in other cases, he was surprisingly bad. In the Harry Potter series, Remus Lupin loved his three friends wholeheartedly and felt similarly for James' son Harry.
Regarding Lady Macbeth's experience, it is full of guilty and severe depression that leads her to sleep disturbance, and in the end, the character commits suicide. The underlying mood disturbances may have worked as a trigger for the SW and a final resolution of a sublime ambitious character.
The Reddit thread agrees Snape's Boggart may revolve around the person who mattered most to him: Lily Potter. Snape's unrequited love for Lily lead to his greatest fear coming true, a fact that wasn't revealed until The Deathly Hallows.
While Dumbledore said he would protect the Potters, it was on the condition that Snape now worked for him as a double agent. Snape's love for Lily ran so deep that he agreed. When she was still murdered, he reluctantly decided that her death would not be in vain, and that he would protect her son.
