Dear Talia and All--Well, we know that in 1945 Grindelwald was 
defeated by Dumbledore.  (Grindelwald, by the way, is also the name 
of a cavernous and deeply wooded area near the Swiss and German 
border--perfect area for Evil that is "hiding out.") And, we know 
that Tom Riddle was already at Hogwarts in the 1930s, so those two co-
existed.  Of course, Tom Riddle may not have transformed into 
Voldemort (at least in his most powerful form), but it seems likely 
that there are evil wizards all over the world and also, apparently, 
within the magical realm/dimension.  I agree that some few of these 
Evil eizards may very well have as much power as Voldemort; however, 
Dumbledore seems to indicate that not too many witches or wizards 
achieve V's depth or broadness of power, so perhaps there aren't too 
many "on the loose"!  (Let's hope not anyway!)  Opal Dragonfly
