At the time that Riddle would have gotten his wand and we can assuem 
he was 11 like Harry, we do not know about how evil jhe was.  IS 
states that he became more involved in DA at Hogwarts.  

"'Exactly,' said Dumbledore, beaming once more. 'Which makes you very 
different from Tom Riddle.  It is our choices, Harry, that show what 
we truly arer, far more than our abilities.'"
 We all make choices as Humans, as muggles and as they do as wizards 
and witches.  We make a thousand choices a day on how to treat people 
and the world around us.  That is waht m,akes us who we are.  

Olivander says it is the wand that chooses the wizard,  therefore it 
was always Riddles/Voldemorts dcisiopj to be evil, regardless of the 
good that was in his wand.  You never know, maybe that is why he 
could not kill Harry with that wand,  Maybe they were already 
intrinsicly (sp?) connected.
