Tom Marvolo Riddle I am Lord Voldemort |
"Very few people know that Lord Voldemort was once called Tom
Riddle. I taught him myself, fifty years ago, at Hogwarts. He
disappeared after leaving the school...traveled far and wide...sank so
deeply into the Dark Arts, consorted with the very worst of our kind,
underwent so many dangerous, magical transformations, that when he
resurfaced as Lord Voldemort, he was barely recognizable. Hardly anyone
connected Lord Voldemort with the clever, handsome boy who was once Head
Boy here."
--Professor Albus Dumbledore in Book 2 |
