Furthermore, it would make no sense, dramatically, for JKR to hark back to CoS at this time.  I stand by my original assertion that she was progressing to the final horror of Cedric's death by describing the dead Riddles first, then the demonstration of the curse in the DADA class, then Wormtail putting the curse on Cedric, witnessed by Harry.  This is how Harry's parents died.  It's very important to the story.  The basilisk has no place here.

Now me:

It also says in GoF (UK paperback, ch.1, page 9) "... Frank was stubbornly repeating again and again, that he was innocent, and that the only person he had seen near the house on the day of the Riddles' deaths had been a teenage boy, a stranger, dark-haired and pale." So I believe that to be Tom Riddle, and he cast AK to kill his family.  I agree with Barb on the no-basilisk theory.
