Lord Voldemort

Lord Voldemort is 4 degrees from Blessed John Paul II because Harry Potter is 4 degrees from Blessed John Paul II.  Why the same?  Because they WERE the same person, remember *SPOILER ALERT*, Harry is a horcrux.  Part of Voldemort's soul was with Harry from the time he was 14 months old.  Since the two were separated after Harry and Kingsley Shaklebolt were acquainted, the degrees remain the same.

If he had made different choices,
perhaps Voldemort would have grown
into a handsome and playful guy
like Ralph Fiennes

Instead, Tom became this ugly fellow, the embodiment of evil.

    

Harry Potter

4 Degrees

Harry to Kingsley to John Major to Queen Elizabeth

The boy wizard knows and works with....

Kingsley was the bodyguard to then Prime Minister, 

The guy on the right was Prime Minister when
Voldemort got his body back.
The lady on the left was Prime Minister when Harry
began at Hogwarts

ALL prime ministers serve at the pleasure of the Queen.  This lady was queen during Harry's entire life!
She still is the Queen.
Blessed John Paul II and Her Majesty
If you ask me, they both knew Kingsley too, but they never said.

This movie is excellent.  I highly recommend it.  It helped me to understand why England has a monarchy at all.

Harry, I'm sorry that you had to die.  The manner in which you did shows the true, Christian roots of your soul and of your story.  Wherever you are, thanks!
