If Voldemort thinks the mixture of magical and muggle blood is an abomination...

...does he hate himself? I haven't read the books, so just from the movies. Voldemort is a half blood as is Snape his right hand man and it makes no sense he isn't pure blood.
 
He hates his father and loathes himself, but mostly hates half-bloods because of how his life turned out. Besides, he's pretty insane to hate a whole race of people etc. so I don't think, as he's trying to take over the world, that he stops and says 'Hey, I'm a half-blood!'
It's a fabulous series, I'm sure J.K Rowling thought of this fact. ;-)
 
It makes a lot of sense. Some of the most demented men in history have been self-hating. Case and point: Adolf Hitler was all "Yay Germans" but he wasn't German.

He wanted so bad to be pure blood that he began to hate everyone who wasn't pure, especially because they didn't seem to have a problem with their status when Voldemort was tormented by his blood status. It's defiantly logical, just not obvious.
 
I haven't read all of the books either, only the movies. But you just made me wonder the same thing. Haha. I think it's more of that people just fear Voldemort because he is so powerful and do not want to question him.
 
In a sense he hates himself, but he has tried to build himself up so he doesn't have to face criticism from others, he avenges his past by creating horcruxes and kills most of his family. He feeds on the facts he is from the same bloodline as Slytherin. I agree it makes no sense, I think he likes Snape because he sees alot of himself within Snape e.g half-blood, doesn't like parents, deceiving etc...
