Why Didn't Voldemort Become an Animagus? (+The Fate of Those Who FAIL) - Harry Potter Theory

According to Hermione's research, there are only 7 known Animagi from the last CENTURY.

How is it that this powerful ability is so underutilized in wizarding society? And what happens to those who have tried and FAILED? But perhaps most importantly: Why haven't the most powerful and gifted wizards like Voldemort and Dumbledore attempted it? Or..Have they?
