Your questions are better than any possible answers could be.  For what it's 
worth, I think Riddle *would* have existed as a separate entity, perhaps 
subject to some constraints, so lucky he didn't.  And yes, there are always 
problems with time-travel.  It's clear Harry and Hermione are taking a *big* 
risk (as is Dumbledore).  The books centre around the events of the night 
Harry, as a baby, mysteriously survived V's curse and sent it back to him.  
In each book, he finds out a little more, and relives a little more - 
perhaps he will actually travel back to that time, and that will prove to 
have been instrumental - I can't wait to find out.
