Now karenoc1:
This has probably been mentioned before, but I think we can infer
that Tom Riddle, Jr (or the wizard styling himself as Lord
Voldemort!) killed his father and grandparents. I don't have GoF in
front of me now, but Barty Crouch, Jr mentioned similarities between
himself and LV near the end of the book, like how they were both
named for unsatisfactory fathers and how they both had the pleasure
of killing those fathers.
I can't right now think of a reason why Harry would use a time-turner
to go back in time to kill Tom Riddle Senior. I guess I can't
believe that Harry would do this at all, but I especially don't think
he would want to kill Riddle Sr. *after* Tom Jr. had already been
born.
