Ah! Some of us have a theory which would explain that - sort of.
It's tied into the 'Possession' idea.
Tom is Tom, but Voldy is Tom plus an evil entity (probably essence
of Salazar Slytherin) that possessed him when he entered the Chamber
as a schoolboy.

Since Salazar's undead spirit has been around forever - well, for centuries
anyway, and since it's more or  less immortal (hence Vapor!Mort after
Godric's Hollow and the Philosophers Stone episode), Tom's submission
to it means that he is now part of something that pre-dates him and is also
his future.
