Jen: I was just wondering that! Where are all of Riddle's school 
chums, the ones he was friends with when he started using the name 
Voldemort? Surely a few from that group went on to become his first 
inner circle of supporters. Aha! Maybe that was the problem--Riddle 
was betrayed by old friends who knew that Voldemort was really 
Riddle, a half-blood with a Muggle father. Riddle may have ended up 
AK'ing  some of his old friends in the beginning when they 
threatened to blow his cover. Then he would recruit from a younger 
group of people who knew nothing of his past. I hope someone 
mysterious from the past turns up to give us backstory on Riddle at 
Hogwarts, and the transformations he went through to become 
Voldemort.
