I was wondering about how Voldemort could have found about the spell to make horcruxes eventhough it is supposed to be such a secret and unmentionable subject. He found it even while he was at Hogwarts, so how could a teen, no matter how talented, find such a thing without arousing the interest of Dumbledore who was, as he says, has been watching Tom Riddle, all the time,during his school days?


  Amanda:
  I thought of this too, but then I remembered that Tom Riddle had 'followers' at that time as well, even DD remembers them and they became the DEs. TR(LV) could have sent them on to look. IMO, it was LMalfoy. He did have the diary (CoS), even though he did not know entirely what it was, he knew it existed and would do some damage.
