Voldemort and Riddle

[Joywitch]

No: HPFGUIDX 2906

I agree with Penny that the reason why no one seems to know that 
Voldy and Tom Riddle are the same person has to do with the fact that 
everyone is so scared of him that they dont want to even say his 
name, let alone discuss his past.  And, IMHO, the reason why 
Dumbledore doesnt go around telling anyone is because of his 
experience, noted several times in the book, that it can be very, 
very difficult to get people to listen to and understand the truth.  
He probably figures that no one would believe him, or if they did, 
Rita Skeeter would write try to make a scandal out of it.  I can see 
the article in the Daily Prophet: 

*You-know-who learned all he knows at Hogwarts*

Are our children being taught by the same teachers who taught the 
greatest evil wizard of all times?  Is your little witch listening to 
the same History of Magic lectures as Voldemort?  Hogwarts 
Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, could not deny that the evil one was 
once a Hogwarts student, but denies responsibility for his 
training.......
