Imagine for a second that Voldemort won. Harry dies, the Ministry falls, nobody destroys Voldemort's Horcruxes and he basically gets exactly what he wanted. He becomes immortal. Or does he? Because here's the thing. While Horcruxes are repeatedly described as a means of achieving immortality, there's one surprisingly important question the books don't answer.
And that's what happens when Voldemort gets old. What happens when Voldemort lives for another 100 or even 200 years until eventually his physical body reaches the end of its natural lifespan? Would his horcruxes actually stop him from aging?
Would he become a thousand year old man who physically cannot die? Or would his body eventually give out just like anyone else's? Today we'll be discussing all of this and more as we tap into Voldemort's pursuit of eternal life.
