Questions I still have:

  • What will Snape do now that he's no longer in love with Lilly?
  • How did Dumbledore hide in the mirror?
  • Why did all the different groups of people on the third floor corridor at the same time?
  • What's up with Cedric?
  • How was magical Italy ruined 323 years ago, or does it matter?
  • How will the Hallows come together?
  • How will the "rip apart the very stars from the heaven" prophecy play out?
  • Did Harry time-turn the day Hermione died, and, if so, what did he do?
  • Why did Harry say that he wouldn't let anyone obilivate everything he knew about calculus?
  • Quirrell teaching students the Killing curse...will it matter?
  • What happened to Narcissa Malfoy?
  • Why did the rememberal go off?

  • Why did Tom Riddle allow his true identity to be tied to his throwaway villain persona?

Because it wasn't a throwaway anymore. His plan was to take over magical Britain as Voldemort, and have both the 'true' respect that comes from fear of what he can do to people and the pleasure of killing idiots whenever he wants. (And possibly to exterminate the Muggle world, but first things first.)
