Laura:

Um...having demonstrated both my superb math skills and my equally 
superb research skills...I'll turn the question around and ask:

So do you think that there's a relationship between the Grindelwald 
business and young Mr Riddle?  If Tom was 16 in 1942 he would have 
been a 6th year, right?  Which means he would have graduated in time 
to join the Grindelwald forces before their defeat-I know, I'm 
attempting math again, so tell me if I'm screwed up here.  

Maybe Tom apprenticed with Grindelwald.
