New with a question!

What a great group! And so active! I am a mom of 5 (and hubby too). 
My kids got me started reading HP.  We are all excited for The Order 
of the Phoenix to get to the bookstores!

I've started to re-read book 4--The Goblet of Fire--and have a 
question.

It says in the first chapter that the Riddle family were all 
killed...well, at least in the Muggle's eyes.  They just died for no 
apparent reason.  Since  Tom Riddle was an only child, who 
becomes "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named", how is it that as Voldemort he 
is able to kill James and Lily Potter?  Did he not actually die?  
Was he just petrified along with his parents?  Anyone have any 
insight to this?  Maybe there's an explanation further along in the 
book, that I have forgotten about!

Thanks!
