Now me:

Well, we don't know for sure, but here's what we have to go on:  In 
Ch. 18 of CoS, Dumbledore says:  "Very few people know that Lord 
Voldemort was once called Tom Riddle."  He makes this statement in 
front of the following people:  Harry, Ron, Ginny, Mrs. Weasely, Mr. 
Weasely, Minerva McGonagall, and a memory charm-impaired Gilderoy 
Lockhart.  (Fawkes and the Sorting Hat are also present.)  There's no 
mention of whether Hermione was ever told, but chances are good that 
Ron and Harry filled her in after she was un-petrified.

In the Chamber (Ch. 17), Riddle tells Harry "It [Voldemort] was a 
name I was already using at Hogwarts, to my most intimate friends 
only, of course."  One of those "intimate" friends must be Lucius 
Malfoy, since he possessed the diary with Tom Riddle's name written 
in it.  Crouch Jr. knows, as he tells Harry in Ch. 35 of GoF: "Both 
of us suffered the indignity of being named after those fathers."  
Wormtail also knows, because Voldemort tells Harry and Wormtail in 
the graveyard (before the other DEs appear): "I revenged myself upon 
him, that fool who gave me his name...Tom Riddle" (GoF, Ch. 33).  Who 
the other "intimate friends" are, we don't know, but at least some of 
them are probably DEs who were at Hogwarts with Riddle.  

In addition, presumably Sirius learned of this when Harry related the 
events in the graveyard to him in Dumbledore's office at the end of 
GoF.
