	Dumbledore might have known/suspected that Tom Riddle and 
Voldemort were the same person, but been unwilling to make such a 
horrendous accusation without proof. Same goes for whoever wrote "Rise 
and Fall of the Dark Arts" and so on. 
	As for the History of Magic classes, it always annoyed me in High 
School that we seldom even got to the twentieth century. I always had 
the impression it was deliberate...too many issues about which the 
"judgement of history" was still in doubt.  Possibly wizarding school 
history courses suffer from the same fault.
