Tom Riddle/Avada Kedavra---also another Arther Weasley question

The current timeline suggests that Tom Riddle (Voldermort) kills his 
family in about 1946, a year after he graduates from Hogwarts.  In 
GOF, Moody tells the students in Harry's class, while showing them 
the unforgivable curses, that it takes powerful dark magic to perform 
AK.  Was Riddle/Voldermort powerful enough, at such a "young" age to 
perform such a curse on his family?  Was he practicing this at 
Hogwarts?  Where did he learn this? 


Arther Weasley question:  

In re-reading GoF, a line hit me that I did not notice before.  On 
Page 203 of the US hardcover version, Malfoy is reading Harry and Ron 
an article from the Daily Prophet about Arthur Weasley at Moody's and 
the dustbins.  Malfoy was commenting on how they got Arthur's name 
wrong in the article saying "imagine them not even getting his name 
right, Weasley. It's almost as thought he's a complete nonentity, 
isn't it?"  Is he a nonentity?  It was suggested he was an 
unmentionable-maybe he is, but uses another name for the sake of his 
family.  Maybe he changed his name for other reasons?  Could this be 
a "clue" into Arthur's past?
