Funny you should mention that.  I just finished reading COS (again) 
and started POA (again) and JKR in her summary setting up the story 
in POA, stated that, "Barely alive, Voldemort had fled . . . ." (Next 
paragraph, next line)  "But Harry had come face to face with him at 
Hogwarts."

So, JKR doesn't refer to "him" as Tom Riddle, even though, she was 
clearly referring to the person Harry came face to face with in the 
COS. 

My theory is that it would have strengthened LV in the present.  I 
admit, I still new at this and I don't know what JKR may have said 
about this issue, but I don't buy into the dual aspect of TR and V.  
What was it Lincoln said, "A Voldemort divided against itself cannot 
stand?"   :)
