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.
