Best Answer

Voldemort is obsessed with the idea of defeating, or overcoming, death. The very name he chose for himself, i.e. "Voldemort", might mean something like "flight from death". However, although he used dark magic (the horcruxes) to try to be immortal, he didn't share this knowledge with his death eaters.

Does Harry Potter and others at Hogwarts uses White Magic and Voldemort and the Death Eaters use Dark Magic?

The books don't use the terms "white magic" and "black magic". The magic used by Harry potter versus that used by Voldemort is the same type of magic, in many cases. However, Voldemort tends to make more use, for example, of what the books call the "unforgivable curses". Also, Voldemort's objectives are, in general, sinister. To a great extent, the difference is not what magic (what specific spells) they use, but for what purposes.

During Voldemort's childhood, while he was in the orphanage, the other children would bully and call Voldemort names because of the powers he had. He would then use the powers to punish the Muggle children which had bullied him.

Lord Voldemort's given name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. He was named after his father (Tom Riddle) and his grandfather (Marvolo Gaunt).
