| Oct 3, 2018 at 0:20 | comment | added | Alex | @Jenayah My point is just that the line from Pottermore is not necessarily proof of who carried out the physical act. I happen to think anyway that the line of Scrimgeour must be surrounded by our people before I act kind of implies that Voldemort would do it himself. | |
| Oct 3, 2018 at 0:17 | comment | added | Jenayah | @Alex sure but in that case the reader knows it was someone else; in Scrimgeour's case there was a fully-functional Voldemort ready for battle and well... We don't know much about this coup, and there's this (handwaved, maybe) line from JKR. No big deal though - at the end of the days, guy's dead | |

| Oct 1, 2018 at 17:37 | comment | added | Jenayah | True, but he's changed since then: delegating the murder part didn't work (end of book 1, 2, 5, 6... Pretty much all of them :D ), so he takes matter into his own hands to ensure the job is correctly done. He does say about Harry "I shall attend to the boy in person. There have been too many mistakes where Harry Potter is concerned. Some of them have been my own. That Potter lives is due more to my errors than to his triumphs." I feel the same would have applied for Scrimgeour, of whom Voldemort bewares; and if he was indeed tortured, even easier for him to AK Scrimgeour when he gets bored. | |
| Oct 1, 2018 at 17:28 | comment | added | Obsidia | @Jenayah My guess for that is it’s saying he died as a result of Voldemort, rather than literally being killed by him directly - similarly to how he killed Myrtle by using the basilisk but we know it counted as a murder committed by him since he used it to make a Horcrux. | |
