But doesn't AD say in CoS that very few people connected Voldemort with TR?
Doesn't Hagrid's apparent knowledge of Voldie's house contradict this?

Or maybe Dumbledore told Hagrid that Voldie and Riddle are the same.  Plus
Hagrid did know Riddle at school, so maybe he put two and two together
himself.

Well, no, not really, Lily was Muggle-born.  The Weasleys are a pure-blood
wizard family.  Nice idea though, fanfic writers may want to pick up on it.
