Andrea states, in reply to Marephraim's question;

<< I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but it is NOT a Flint that Tom

Riddle died at the Riddle house.  Remember, young Tom Marvolo Riddle was

named  after his father and grandfather, so his father's name was also Tom

Riddle.  The people killed at the Riddle house were TMR/Voldemort's

grandparents and father. >>

I think the question was how did 16-year-old Diary!Riddle know about the acts 
of 18-year-old Patricide!Riddle, since that particualr itteration had already 
been confined to the diary two years before the massacre of the Riddle 
family. 

I've assumed that Diary!Riddle was extrapolating from what he knew he 
intended to do in his own time with what information he had gotten out of 
Ginny earlier in the year. (It is no stretch to believe that Riddle had 
already promised himself his father's death as a graduation present before 
setting himself into the diary.) Riddle's summation in CoS is far from 
altogether accurate, but then "True Thomas" he's emphatically not.
