When I read this, I automatically connected it to Dumbledore's explanation to Harry about how powers have been transferred between Harry and Voldemort.  Harry's "remembering" Tom Riddle because Voldemort knows who Tom Riddle is.  Since Voldemort is still very weak (in book two), Harry only has a weak inkling of Tom Riddle.
