Why Doesn't Voldemort Have a Nose?! He's a Wizard

[Shadow Lord]

Well... Since he was the heir of Slytherin, when he split his soul he became unhuman, and with his status as the air he developed a snake like feature which made his nose like a snake's snout. Therefore, he has an odd nose. Case Closed.........................

Lack of nose: Makes you more noticeable, more gruesome, more menacing.

 

[Dr3W21]

That, and maybe he didn't want to smell the filthy Mudbloods underfoot?

Well, he does have two slits to smell with...

 

[badmuffins]

He has a nose. Or nostrils, at least.

 

[JuicieJ]

He split his soul so many times it distorted his body.

 

[Ronin]

Because he used Nagini as one of his Horcruxes--the only live one--and since he was already dead, his body became most like his living connection. This is probably why we see him caressing his pet snake.

 

[Irishmile]

when he was a child his mother did that "ive got your nose" game with the thumb, you know the one... only she never gave it back.

It's because it reflects his inner snake. At least, that's my take on it. I mean, look at a snake's nose. They are non-existent, just two little slits... remind you of any evil wizard?
