The kind of sad part is that it means that all the parents of Hogwarts kids he DID kill - NONE of them loved their children.
Only Lilly Potter loved her kid. …OR… The true nature of Gingers was the real evil-killer. And the deaths of Fred and George were done with guns, and the Prewetts (Molly Weasley nee Prewett) were not gingers and Molly got the recessive gene.
I always liked the idea the it was actually just blood/death magic and everyone was just too ideologically blinded to see that sacrificial magic was used for good. It makes sense that Voldemort would be blindsided that one of Dumbledores followers used a bit of dark magic, imagine fighting someone who refused to use chemical weapons only for them to decide to use a nuclear landmine on you in particular.
