Actually, I don't find it so odd.  After all, the Slytherins in Harry's time
know the trio very well, and they also never miss a chance to pick on
Neville, even from the very beginning in that first flying lesson.  I could
see Tom Riddle picking on the one he would estimate to be the most different
or vulnerable.  And Hagrid did and still does have a fondness for monsters.
Seems an easy choice to me.
