Debra:
That's true, that was mentioned. However, I think that was just 
foreshadowing to the fact that Harry had met him before, with a 
different name, and had yet to find out who he really was. Or perhaps 
the entire opening of GF, including the mystery of the Riddle family, 
was part of Harry's dream that made his scar hurt for the first time 
since SS/PS, and therefore he *had* already heard the name before.
