Lots of snipping...

DD said that few people would recognize Voldemort as the young 
man who was Tom Riddle, which leads me to wonder: Who else 
besides DD and Harry do we know for certain knows that Voldemort
is Tom Riddle?  
 
SSSusan:
Lucius Malfoy knows

I am pretty sure that Hagrid also knows that TR=V.
Mr.& Mrs. Weasley know because they were told about 
Ginny's possession episodes.  I wouldn't be surprised if more 
members of the Order knew as well.


Just a few thoughts on the matter:
I'm pretty sure that the Death Eaters, at least the ones who are in 
Voldemort's "inner circle", know very well of his background.  (Of 
course, this includes Lucius.)  During the graveyard scence when the 
Death Eaters beg Voldemort to tell them how he has achieved the feat 
of returning to his body, he tells them the story... and of course, 
his father, Tom Riddle, was a part of the rebirth; thus, why they 
were gathered there. 

It surprised me slightly that in OoP when Harry is trying to get the 
DE's / Bellatrix angry, he mentions how Voldie is a half-blood.  
They act angry over this statement, but I'm assuming this is just 
because they don't like it to be mentioned and not because they 
didn't know.
