In the initial line of this thread, someone said that LV's house 
didn't look like a prince lived there.  Well, he did have TWO 
parents, what about his other side's house (which, btw, is his 
magical heritage).

Also, what difference would it make if people realized that TR 
became LV?  I agree with the people who called him Voldemort 
at school became his first DEs, since JP's group of friends 
became the backbone of the OotP, didn't it?
