Clue in CoS, was The name T.M. Riddle in CoS

I agree, though I think that in the book itself, recognizing the name
Riddle may very well be significant for any of the possible reasons
people have mentioned. In the movie, the look is too subtle to be the
'big clue'. It is MUCH more obvious in the books because Harry actually
says that the name is familiar, like that of an old friend. 

One thing someone (Ixchelmala) pointed out to me, which I thought quite
fascinating, was Draco tearing the page out of a book in Flourish and
Blotts in the movie. Of course, later in the book/movie Harry figures
out what is going on by the page torn out of a book that Hermione holds
in her hand. Now, Hermione isn't the type to tear a page out of a book.
Not only that, Madam Pince supposedly puts all kinds of spells on the
books to keep them from being stolen/defaced. I don't know the exact JKR
quote, but it had something to do with the movie making this particular
clue more obvious and easy to catch.
