The scariest thing about Voldemort, in my opinion, was that he could already use the Cruciatus and Imperius Curse as a kid, before he had a wand or went to Hogwarts.

Later on in the series, I always thought he lacked a serious battle which showed his supposedly "immense" power.

So I get why ppl would not see him as a great villain.
