Truly?  Dumbledore suspected Riddle, but if Riddle has not shown 
himself as Lord Voldemort until he gains a greater following, how is 
Dumbledore to know what his DADA teacher is doing?
Lupin has shown that he keeps things from Dumbledore, just like the 
rest of the Marauders. Malfoy and the other Slytherins like the pure-
blood talk of Riddle and so are they going to mention anything to 
that muggle-loving Dumbledore?  

I will grant that if you take each one of my statements above you can 
remove the context I was building by having them together.
All of the quotes I provided point, circumstantially, at various 
forms of relationships between Riddle and the Marauders.

BTW, THE DARK LORD wasn't walking around bellowing to the world -- 
join up or die -- or ONLY BAD GUYS WANTED HERE -- or I WANT TO KILL 
ALL MUD-BLOODS - JOIN UP OR ELSE!
Evil does not work that way.
This Tom Riddle is a BRILLIANT man, and folks here tend to make him a 
caricature and a simpleton.

Want to start a movement?  Go to the youth and train them.
Who is in the best position to train them?  TEACHERS.

So what did Voldie do then...... Put a running ad in the Daily 
Prophet?  JOIN THE DARK SIDE and TAKE OVER
No, that is not how he did it....he advertised confections, you know 
the kind that Fred and George like to make.
Only Voldie's confections were much more mind-altering!
