Who DID Tom Riddle murder....I stand corrected.

I said that I thought that Tom Riddle's father had left his mother 
when he learned of her background. I have only recently become a
Harry Potter fan, having picked up my niece's book over the holidays 
to kill some time. Needless to say, I've become hopelessly addicted.  
But I incorrectly referred to the murdered trio in GOF...not having
my own copy, I only remembered a couple and their son being found 
dead, and then Voldemort, during his soliloquy in the graveyard,
tells 
of how he saught revenge on his father, who had given him his name
but 
nothing more. My interpretation was his father had and provided well 
for a new family while Tom struggled for survival in the muggle 
orphanage (which I presumed was the seed of his hate and evilness). I 
made the comment without hard copy in front of me, and I shouldn't 
have.
I stumbled into this group quite accidently yesterday, and was 
thrilled when I learned I was not the only adult fan interested in
HP. 
  I ran out and purchased all four titles for myself. I reviewed GOF 
and realized my error immediately.  Thus, I bow humbly before you and 
request your pardon.
