I am unsure if anyone has posted this before but does
anyone think we will hear about tom riddles mum? was
re-reading the fourth book and it did strike me as odd
that we the little we know of Tom Riddles past most of
it concerns his dad and I am getting kind of curious
as to what drove TBTB to put tom in  a muggle
orphanage...

I always felt that the first chapter of GOF was the
most hedged and uncertain chapter in the series.
Riddle's mother will be VERY important in the
storyline, with her role paralleling Lily's.
Just as Harry will be used by Dumbledore as a weapon
to ultimately defeat the Dark Wizard Voldemort, so Tom
Riddle will be revealed as having served the same
function in helping Dumbledore defeat the Dark Wizard
Gindelwald in 1945.
However, Dumbledore ultimately failed in that Riddle
later chose the dark path to become a wizard more evil
than Grindelwald. This would explain why Dumbledore
tells Harry that his choices are more important than
his abilities.
Dumbledore is hoping that Harry will be able to defeat 
VOldemort without going down the dark path himself.
