But that point aside, 
do we really know that Riddle was an only child?  First of all, we 
don't even know how he knows what he does about his mother.  She died 
when 
he was born.  It is feasibly possible that she had another child with 
a 
different father before she had Tom Riddle.  An older half 
brother/sister could have been sent to a separate Muggle orphanage, 
Would he have wanted to wipe them out 
too?  For not taking him in?  So many questions, so few answers.

NOW MY POST:


I have been pondering links between wizarding families such as this, 
and for all we know, it could happen.

My theory is and has been for a long time that Grandmother Evens 
(Lilly's mum) had Tom riddle as a child. Her identity could have 
easily changed if her maiden Name was altered by Grandfather Evens
 
especially if they married young.  Too young to keep as a child for 
fear of being shunned by society, she doesn't tell Tom Riddle Senior
 
or he too, not wanting to face a complicated social confrontation 
deserted the expectant teenager. Now say, she was 16
 and this was 65 
odd years ago, this means at 30 Riddle Junior causes the kafuffle 
with his father, believing his mother dead, thinks nothing of it. 15 
years go on and out pops Petunia, being a squib all is frowned upon 
(her dislike for wizards?) or is she a witch? (In time) Grandmother 
Evens then has Lilly at the age of 50 (hey wizards live to 150+) and 
so begins the connection with Potter


Voldemort finds out about his mother not dieing
 He swears revenge 
like he took on his father and all of his father's family. Thus in 
killing Grandmother Evens, he finds out about Lilly, she's married to 
a Potter and thus he's got to go as well.

Now here's the crunch. We find out why all along Voldemort wants to 
kill off Harry: He is Voldemort's Last Living Relative. When he kills 
Harry, he effectively extracts the ultimate revenge for the crime his 
parents committed (in his eyes)

Hey, it also could mean Harry has a living relative: and Uncle!
