I must say that the posts you suggested are very interesting. But they touch on his stay in the orphanage.  My main question deals with his story.  I am really starting to wonder if it is all a lie.  Harry and Tom are very simliar.  We are continuely reminded of this throughout all of the stories. The only difference (I think it is safe to assume from DD) is the choices they make.  Harry believed his parents to be killed in the car crash...Tom believes his father to have left him.  I am just not conviced that this is what happened.  

Based on what we have in the books so far I am sure that JKR is going to through it to us that Tom was not abandoned by his father at all.  But that Sr was abandoned by Jrs mom. (not sure if she is Mrs Riddle or something else).  JKR seems to have away of mixing it up and hitting you with something that is different then first thought.  Granted at this point we do not have much to go on just the similarities between Harry and Tom and the current story we have been told.
