Voldemort was considered the most dangerous Dark wizard of all time, and for a while he was feared by the entire wizarding world- even by those who followed him. 

But after his initial downfall at the hands of baby Harry, he was little more than a shadow—weak, powerless, and holding onto life by a thread (well, seven threads).

But eventually, after a brief stint in the forests of Albania..He does come back. He regains his strength, rebuilds his body through dark and ancient magic, regains his followers and..Eventually reclaims his place as the Dark Lord. 

So… My question is: why didn’t anyone finish the job the first time around? Why didn’t Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, or anyone else track down what was left of Voldemort and destroy him before he had the chance to return?

Could the Second Wizarding War have been avoided altogether?

Let’s take a look.
