A significant clue, in my opinion, is that when Harry first hears 
Riddle's name, when he finds the diary:

"And
while Harry was sure he had never heard the name T. M. Riddle before, 
it still seemed to
mean something to him, almost as though Riddle was a friend he'd had 
when he was very
small, and had half forgotten. But this was absurd."

Many, many other times, we have seen that Harry has sub-concious 
memories of his past.  In the beginning of SS/PS, Harry has a dream 
about a flying Motorcycle.  We also know that he has some memory of 
the flash of green light that cursed him.

Perhaps Riddle was a common name around the Potter house.  Or the 
Dursley's.
