Actually I think this is a movie goof. First it has 3 names on it so 
it would be Voldemort's dad and grandparents. After all, he killed 
all three and then his uncle took the rap. I am not sure why they 
put the Marvolo in there because in the book (Scholastic version 
page 638) the headstone merely says Tom Riddle - no one else is on 
it. Also I think the dates are messed up (as someone on TLC pointed 
out). The first two people are 63 and 60 when killed and the bottom 
one (who should be Voldemort's dad) is 28. The death year seems 
about right but I think they should have put like 1905 for the birth 
year. Then grandma and grandpa would have been around their mid 
twenties when Tom Sr was born and he would have been about 22 when 
Voldemort was born. All I can say is I hope they airbrush the 1 and 
make it a 0 and then fiddle with the middle name to make it 
something else. Maybe the film makers will catch that before 
November. Let's hope.
