Alla:

I do not remember any teacher of Hogwarts besides Slugghorn connecting the name of Tom Riddle with Voldemort. I also do not remember any member of the general public making a connection and instead of calling him 'He who must not be named" calling him Tom Riddle. And it is not like the lesson of "not to be afraid of the name" is absent from the book, quite the contrary, only instead of insisting that he should be called Tom Riddle, wierdly Dumbledore insists on calling him Lord Voldemort.

If you have information to the contrary, please share, trust me I will be delighted to stand corrected on this one.
