Me: 

(p. 244, U.S. Edition)
"You are Muggle-born?"
"Half-blood, sir," said Riddle.  "Muggle father, witch mother."
"And are both your parents-?"
"My mother died just after I was born, sir.  They told me at the 
orphanage she lived just long enough to name me - Tom after my 
father, Marvolo after my grandfather."
