Also, isn't it possible that the Sorting Hat overlooked Tom Riddle's 
mixed heritage due to his status as a descendant of Salazar 
Slytherin?  In fact, if TR was sorted into Slytherin despite his 
Muggle father, that might have been what twigged him onto seeking 
out his forefathers in the first place; he might have been curious 
as to *why* he ended up where he did.
