How and when did Voldemort rise to power

I have yet to find a good proper theory or explanation on this. He was a college student who had a muggle father. I seriously doubt it was not discussed or anything. Yes he started the horcrux process quite a while ago but how did he gain followers especially on pure blood supremacy. Like dude, your father himself was a muggle. How did you get away with this?

And not just that, he gained an insane following, and went as far as terrorizing an entire generation of wizards. Nobody dared question him on his blood status?

Or was his status purely because of power of horcruxes and being insanely talented wizard? Still doesn't make sense for him to be spearheading the pureblood movement.

Am I the only one who genuinely felt bad for her?

Like Ron, you initiated contact with her and led her on. Yeah she was a bit clingy but dude, you literally gave her dreams and what not and suddenly you dropped her like nothing. I really felt bad for her when I saw her crying. This was one of those moments I didn't like Ron at all!

The scene of wizard attack on Quidditch World Cup is so well explained in the books!

So, in movies we see a bunch of wizards attacking tents and some well-armed wizards running away in panic. Even though most of them had wands and could fire back. It has inspired heavy criticism on why didn't anyone do anything about it.

In books, the situation is very different. The death eaters are holding muggles as hostage and wrecking havoc. At that point, some of the youngers wizards don't even know what dark mark is. The trio even joke a bit during the attack and engage in verbal confrontation with Malfoy. Some wizards join them, thinking it's a sick idea of entertainment. (Shows the general opinion about muggles).

Furthermore, the attackers arrived to give a message, someone conjures a dark mark and they quickly run away. Nobody was expecting it, and some join the ministry in rounding up offenders. A few tents are burned but they run away quickly after causing mayhem. It was just meant to be a message. There is no casualty and it was more like a message to terrify everyone that VOLDEMORT is back. Considering there has been a wizard war only recently, you already know his band of terrorist wizards are excellent at causing deaths and destruction. Which means many of them also know dark spells regular wizards would not.
