Voldemore the family man

Ok, throwing in two galleons (inflation due to the inflated ego, lol)

Not that I aspire to this theory (below), but here's a way it could 
still fit in the storyline.  

Tom leaves school, entering the world of muggles/wizards as a horny 
teenager.  Seeing a woman who is hot, they go off, and (CENSORED).  
He and she go off in separate directions.  She discovers, gasp, I'm 
pregnant!  She of course approaches Tom, who snickers (trust me, seen 
enough of these types in my friends' relationships!) and says "Deal 
with it yourself," or something.  She's muggle, of course.  Another 
man comes along, and offers to marry her to avoid (insert current war 
here, was Korea happening in UK like it was in USA?  Or, if this 
happens in WW2, it fits too!) the draft!  (Don't joke--this happened 
to my family during Vietnam!)  She takes him up on it, the child 
carries the new-guy family name, and she has another daughter not 
long after (like 10-12 mos. apart, maybe?) after: Lily and Petunia.  
They continue to live their lives....as muggles.

Now, Mr. Tom, knowing that this child is his (say, Mommy was a 
virgin, maybe?), keeps tabs on the family from afar....(He still 
hates muggles, tho!)

Does this explain the situation?
