Something's been bothering me, not a big deal, but I just have to 
post it so I can stop thinking about it. 

RSF Jenny wrote-

<snip>It is canon that Riddle was in 
Slytherin. In SS/PS in ch 5 when Harry and Hagrid are talking after 
Harry met Malfoy 
at Madam Malkins: 

"'Better Hufflepuff than Slytherin,' said Hagrid darkly. 'There's 
not a 
single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin. You-
Know-Who was 
one.'" <snip>



Now me-

If no one knows Voldemort's true identity (except Dumbledore and 
Harry) then why does Hagrid say Voldemort was in Slythrin? I'm sure 
he's just assuming Voldemort was in Slytherin, I mean it's not like 
he could have been in Hufflepuff... But, the fact Dumbledore has 
said only he and Harry know who Voldemort truly is, and he 
transformed *after* graduating from Hogwarts, why would anyone other 
than Harry and Dumbledore mention which house he belonged to as if 
they knew it to be a fact? Is this a fluke on JKR's part, or did I 
miss something? Anyway, with that said, I don't believe Voldemort 
was in Slytherin because Hagrid said it, but for the obvious reasons.
