The only one he ever feared?

Kim here with her own questions (and I agree that Chancie's question 
was not stupid at all):

Eustace Scrubb included the following in his response to Why is DD 
the only one LV ever feared?:

>Voldemort believes Dumbledore has been "onto him" at least since
Tom Riddle's fifth year at Hogwarts. Dumbledore is one of the few
people who know that Tom Riddle transformed himself into Voldemort.
Voldemort probably either knows or suspects that Dumbledore knows more
about Tom Riddle's history than anyone else (maybe even more than
Voldemort knows himself).<

Kim now:

I'd been thinking about that lately, about why so few people would 
know that Tom Riddle and Lord Voldemort are one and the same person.  
Dumbledore knows, and Olivander knows, and Harry knows, as well as 
who else...?  How about Lucius Malfoy?  Tom Riddle also told some of 
his cohorts at Hogwarts when he was there 50 years ago, didn't he?  
Anyway I guess I'm puzzled as to why Dumbledore of all people would 
have kept this knowledge to himself for so many years.  Olivander's 
motives for keeping it secret I can't determine, but Dumbledore's?  
Wouldn't it be useful for others, especially those on the Good Side, 
to know Voldemort's personal history?  I bet Eustace and some of you 
other smart posters out there have some ideas about this...

Kim,
who's been in the mood for asking questions lately and hope that 
doesn't make her seem like too much of a lazybones :-)
