> We know that Riddle was at Hogwarts in 1945 (50 years ago from 1995) but
that is a very impresise date because there are seven years in hogwarts for
all wizarding children.  Now, that means that he could have left in 1945,
come to hogwarts in 1945 or something in between.  (it could have been the
date that dumbledore started to have suspicions about him.)

state of shock).  This surgests that he was in first or second year when

Unless I'm mistaken, the book points out that "fifity years ago" Riddle was
16 and Hagrid was expelled in his third year, so that makes him 13 or 14 at
most.
