To think that posting such paragraphs would serve as solid, authentic evidence against the undeniable potential of Tomarrymort only shows that you, in fact, do not understand it.
A shallow analysis you made over the provided text, undoubtedly. Yet, what you believe is an unarguable testimony that shatters Tomarrymort’s fundamentals is, actually, the fundamental itself.
“He did not want to approach it. Nevertheless…”
Look at the figure of speech used to create the argument you use against the ship. A paradox—the feeling against the action, the conscious against the unconscious. The desire, the fear, but which is which? What does Harry want to do, and what does he do? Can you dare say you know what he wants? You do not always do what you want, and you do not always want the thing that you do.
“He could not bring himself to do it. He felt like a coward. He ought to comfort it, but it repulsed him.”
Why would you label yourself a coward if you supposedly are not doing something you do not actually want to do? The connotation of the word is negative, almost always belittling—you loathe yourself for not having the courage to seek what your boldest self desires.
The truest interpretations of Tomarrymort almost never claim the existence of principled empathy, ‘concealed’ feelings, or straightforward romance/understanding/humanity between Harry and Voldemort—unlike some. The essence of the ship lies precisely where you tend to believe you have found an error; vocalised loathing. Two beings that are destined to ruin each other through hatred, yet to be destined is to be tied—in that space between what you physically do and what you spiritually desire, you find out human beings long for what should disgust them.
Harry and Voldemort are supposed to be antithetical. To the naked eye, they are; the juvenile representation of good and bad—until you find out they are wholly intertwined through something labelled as the truest component of a human; their soul. Tomarrymort’s principle is contradiction, is internalised antipathy, is the exploration of human primitive, perhaps irrational obsession.
Of course, you are not obliged to view Harry and Voldemort’s relationship through this perspective. But as somebody who tends to read between the lines to defend their own interests, it is only natural you perform the same method towards other matters, too.
