Okay. There was some discussion way back when about the junior Tom
Riddle's parents. I'm not sure if this was brought up before, but I think
I have an answer to a question that hasn't been covered yet. Voldemort
(when he's talking to Harry at the end of the book) states (I don't
have my book with me right now, but I'm SURE it's in there - book 4)
that his mother died while giving birth to him, and that's the reason
he grew up in an orphanage. Just to clear *that* question up.

Here's my question. Did the senior Tom Riddle *know* his wife was pregnant
when he left her? It doesn't say if he did or not - it just says that
he left when he found out that she was a witch. Of course, if it's so
much of a shock to find out his wife is a witch, I wouldn't put it past
him to dump her anyway - wouldn't want an "abnormal" son around, either.
