Tom Riddle and history

No: HPFGUIDX 192633

He was born 1926 and grew up in an orphanage during the Great Depression. He started school before WWII, 1938 and was in the orphanage in London when the bombings occurred. I wonder if JKRowling even realizes this?  It explains a lot about Tom's character, though again I doubt that Rowling really internalized what this means for Tom's upbringing.
