Tom Riddle (proto-Voldy) was a student at Hogwarts in the early 
1940s - fifth year in (I think) 1942. So he would have been born in 
approximately 1927. So if he was "resurrected" in 1995, he would have 
been close to 70. That is, unless using "bone of the father, 
unwillingly taken" made him closer to the age of his own father, whom 
he murdered in the mid-1940s. So maybe Renewed!Voldy is younger than 
70. Personally I don't see Voldy as having a specific age... the 
description leans more toward bloodless and snakelike than aged.

Try renting MONA LISA or THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY if you want to see Bob 
Hoskins away from the Roger Rabbit milieu. He also had a major role 
in the recent BBC production of David Copperfield that starred 9 year 
old Daniel Radcliffe as young David.
