Carol:
I think your guess regarding the wand is correct, but are you sure
that "most people" know that Tom Riddle became Voldemort? What
canonical evidence do we have that anyone besides Dumbledore, Lucius
Malfoy, Peter Pettigrew, HRH, and the Weasleys know this? As someone
mentioned recently, even McGonagall doesn't seem to know who opened
the Chamber in CoS. Probably the Order members know who Voldemort is
now because DD has told them, but I don't recall any specific
statements to that effect in the books. (I can't tell whether
Bellatrix knows or not; she doesn't believe Harry's statement that
Voldemort is a halfblood, but that doesn't preclude her knowing that
Voldemort was once YTR.)
