Carol responds:
Considering that Riddle was 33 years older than Snape and disappeared
fifteen years before Snape was born, returning when Snape was a
schoolboy so changed that he was unrecognizable, I'd say that the
chances of Snape and Riddle being "old friends" are slim to none. I'm
guessing that Snape saw him for the first time when he joined the DEs
at about age eighteen, at which time Voldemort was 51 and had long
since droped his identity as Tom Riddle.

Is there any evidence to indicate that Voldemort wasn't already
snake-faced in VW1? And in any case, he would have *used* the
ambitious boy to further his personal agenda rather than befriending him.
